J8--

That message *might* be caused in XP if you are using ASIO sound drivers in two different audio programs that are open at the same time.

If that is the case, try setting one of the two programs to Windows Sound. This can happen if we are trying to do Drag 'n Drop from BB to RB, say, with both programs trying to use ASIO sound drivers. I usually set BB to run MME when doing that, keeping the lower latency ASIO for RealBand, where I'm likely to need it to do more recording.

Don't know if that is the case at your end, but thought it worth the mention.
