Unfortunately Abelton Live 7.0.2 does not work.

I have investested (loads of money) on the boxed "suite" version and a

brand new PC just for IT, but it does not work (7.0.2).

Instead I receive a message:

"LIVE MESSAGE

A serious program error has occured. Live will shut down after this message

box is closed"

That it! :x

I habe wasted days and days, it does not work.

Everything else works fine on the system.

I don´t know if I succested a friend to buy the software at this stadium.

Havent heart of the support yet, as well.

I am fed up!

Sicerley, Dandy Dust :twisted:

I have received automatic responce that they have received my email.

Ufortunately I havent heart of them since...

If they need details I will give them. As I dont know which details they

need I wait for a responce.

Of course I am fed up, I want to spend my time on music (when I have some besides a job and a family).

I waste my money AND time and now I want a working copy!

WOW, how demanding and spoiled am I)

Dandy :roll:

Here's his problem. It sounds to me like the copy protection bit him when he rolled back the date on an expired beta;

Diabolical!

And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids and your dog, too.

Version 7.0 and 7.0.1 work fine.

I first got the message when betatesting 7.0.2b5 or so.

I have reinstalled, redownloaded the 7.0.2 version several times,

I habe reinstalled from scratch (not formatted the pc though)

Live 6 PLUS Ableton Suite 7 as addon and so on and so on...

(Unfortunately I set my system date back when using 7.0.2b5 because

my internet connection was down and the thing was expired. So I

tried to set back my internal system date for two days. But nobody

also says that that is or was the cause why 7.0.2 does not work.

I use windows XP with all updates...

My PC is brandnew and seems to work fine.

I know that the hardway is allways a possibility, but I cannot see any

other malefunction.

I have not tried to run the programm with all usb-connections plugged

out, I would do so if the Ableton support asked me to, but they dont.


WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE ABLETON FORUM?

I dont know, but I know that

"FIGHTING FOR PEACE IS LIKE FUCKING FOR VIRGINITY",

RooooaaaAAAAAR, Dandy :? :( :evil:

well that sucks, and Ableton will sort it out I am sure...


It is one thing to blame the Software, and it is entirely different to realize it is your fault..

this is total user interference...

I bought it with a new version of XP. (because everybody and every support
and every magazine says VISTA does not get allong with soo many drivers
of all kind of Hardware)

Honesty?

Also a new PC could be the reason why something does not work...

But it does not look like there was a major hardwareprob and so on...
