I was wondering if anyone has heard of a computer crashing when you switch to Full Screen in Live. I am using Vista and several Native Instruments Plugins, with Live 7. When I hit f11 in one of my projects in almost certainly leads to crash.

I haven't had this with full screen, but with any Kontakt Player instruments on the mac-side if you click outside the Live window while they're still loading, you get a crash so I'm assuming this one's because of the NI-instruments too.

Does it occur just when entering full screen or do you have time to do something and then happens? Can't help much, because I'm on a different platform, but I suspect the NI stuff anyway, Kontakt Player.

I own Kontakt 2 but I am not using it in this project. I believe the crash happens when I go to full screen and then click the mouse anywhere. It might be NI related, but I don't think so considering there is no data that tells my plug-ins that the host is in full screen mode.

update: The project that gets the crash action is a movie score, and I just noticed that if the project is playing and I move the video window, CRASH. So that's more for the bug fixers to go with.

Hi,

I tried with a simple project playing a video, under Vista, and couldn't reproduce the crash. Is your particular set using plugins? You should write to support, providing the information asked for on that page:
