Have you ever tried the second "Return to Factory Settings" button located in the Opts. menu? The second button down resets all MIDI and soundcard stuff and returns all the BIAB settings to square one.

Do you perhaps have the older VSC3 installed on that machine at the same time?

If so, try removing it in the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

Don't remove the VSC DXi though.

I recall one time when I troubleshot a system and for some reason those two were getting into a catfight that chewed up CPU cycles like that. Don't know why, because I had both installed on my machine for a long time without the problem. Mine was AMD based and his was an Intel. Don't know if that had anything to do with it either. All I know is that I uninstalled the older VSC3 and told him to watch it for a few days and there were no more stalls like that.
