FYI, I found a conflict with an ".exe" process that's part of the "Dell Support Center" software. I removed it and RB is working like a charm!
Thanks for all your help, everybody...



My nephew is an IT pro and I've heard him talk about this. The first thing he does if he gets involved with family or friends name brand PC's is to strip out all that stuff. I haven't heard too many complaints with Dell's but the old Compaq's really loaded up the OS with stuff like this. This is another reason I keep building my PC's from scratch when it's time to upgrade. The prices have come down so much with the name brands it not so much about saving money now, it's the fact that I can do a little research to find out what's the specifications du jour for building a DAW. Just look at some of the audio websites and there's always tips about how a certain mb/cpu/memory combo seems to work a little better than that one and once I've figured all that out, order the parts from Newegg and put it together. There really isn't much to it, if you can put a hinge on a kitchen cabinet, you can build a PC.
