When it comes to digital audio newer and faster is always better.

I can't give you the details but this is certainly something to do with your graphics card, your CPU, your monitor, a config setting, something like that. There are so many different configurations out there with all the different versions of PC's there's no way a small company like PGM can set their programs up to run a new version perfectly without some help from you setting up your own PC. Just keep working with Support and trying the suggestions here and you'll clear it up.

Like it or not, you are a computer nerd my friend...

Your remarks are interesting considering PG's Dec 10 update didn't work either. Is that my fault also????? Is it OK because PG are a small company????
I see PG had to re-issue the download, I've never seen them do that before.

I will never cease to be amazed at the slack the some dedicated users will give to PG. You make it sound like they are running a charity and we should be eternally grateful for their efforts. In reality they are running a business to make money and as customers we have the right to expect a level of due diligence in designing, testing and issuing of a revised product.

If the average user can immediately find dozens of glitches why can PG not do it?
If an upgrade means that certain computers will have problems why does PG not run their upgrades on a selection of computers.
Why do the beta testers not pick up these problems, are they all running better computers than the average Joe user?
Do PG prescribe a detail testing protocol to the beta testers or just say - "here it is, give it a try".

Could not agree more. I find it stunning that we have to get the big fanfare for something like "gee you can actually see your chords as you enter them" Such things should have been fixed a decade ago and the whole program is still flakey counterintuitive and win 95 type designing. Its a lot of money for flakey code. Since Real Tracks there has been hardly any major development. So much of it I dare not use as its so scrappy, VSTs, notation, recording, it a joke but not a good one.
