Hi SaxmanJim,

Thanks for the suggestions. It's possible different models have different issues. Satellite 675D-S7107. The audio drivers are taccam and touted by TS as being very reliable. I've seen the name direct X but don't know what it is. I'll search in a minute and see if I can find it on Toshi. I'm impressed with how good everything sounds in the new version of audiophile, it makes it doubly frustrating that it can't work reliably. I am very grateful for the help here and at Biab TS.

Robh,

You misunderstood me I think. That screen is a biab thing. I've never seen it anywhere else and it comes dead center on the chord sheet only during play. It was a small blank white screen in a grey frame, The screens you are thinking of are usually in the lower left corner. It was rhythmic in it's cycling as long as I wanted to watch and appeared in the same place every 8 bars on the one of bar 8 or 9 I forget. It was about the duration of a 16 note at 120 bpm. That's not like any notification screen I've seen. I had biab running on the same tune briefly last nite and didn't see that behavior. But I agree in principle with what you say Rob about things running in the background being a bad idea. Those ideas have been de rigueur since I began doing audio recording on a puter in 95. Yet someone just stated they are running a

ryszard,

all that is in that location is a light when wifi is on. Unless the light itself is also the switch, there is no such switch on my laptop. If that is also a switch I'd need a tooth pick or ball point pen to turn it on.

When you say same specs do you also mean the same exact model? The models all have different features I think. I began having problems as I stated somewhere above, with a new puter, [ factory settings] new interface with drivers blessed by biab TS fresh everything. Disaster. Glad you are having a smooth experience, Are you also running from an external audiophile drive. I only have biab on the toshi internal drive. Everything else lives on the external drive. I don't know if that matters or not.
