Wow. Yet another example of why every PC I've had for the last 10 years or so I've either built myself or had built by someone else. If it's not this, it's some other piece of bloatware that is preinstalled on name brand PC's that bites you. This is also an example of the PC makers not caring about pro audio. It's been said many times, we're on our own when it comes to this stuff. Pro audio programs may seem big and well known to us but to the average PC user and builders, they know nothing about it or the issues we deal with. Since we never know exactly what thing will cause a problem we're all much better off with a custom built generic Windows box. There's thousands of people on Craigslist who can do that for the same price or less than a name brand and you get to specify the chip/mobo combination, the brand of memory, hard drive etc.
