Sorry....I diligently posted my computer specs, all the way down blood type and favorite color in the BIAB post and completely forgot it here....

Turion 64x2 TL-58, 4gb Ram, W7-64bit, O positive, Green (sometimes Blue)
ASIO4All v2.1 beta
2k plus on the geekbench.

So SINCE then I plugged in my Tascam us122mkii and chose THAT driver and it works. But .... Its a little crackally .... I'm thinkin I've pushed this couple year old lappy passed its reliable safe zone. I'm thinkin about reloading (again...sigh....workin on the desktop lately too :-/ ) in W7/32 bit & see if things don't even out a bit.

Plus.....I just lost a good hour of fiddling with an RB seq. GOt a non-fatal memory extention error.....music stopped...hmmmmm. Saved, closed, won't reopen. Invalid data.
Weird.
