I'm using XP SP3, M-Audio AP2496 soundcard, BiaB is set to MME sound drivers for this test.

HH2010, Build 292

I loaded several of the PGMusic RealTracks demo songs and Rendered them using both VSX DXi and then repeated the process using the Forte DXi.

In all cases, the Direct Rendering was accomplished in under 20 seconds, tops.

I did do a ctrl-alt-del while some of them were Rendering, and found that it does indeed report that BiaB is "not responding" while the render takes place, but as soon as the Rendering stops, it changes back to "running" status.

Can't duplicate here at the moment, but am thinking of trying some things like changing various settings one at a time to see if that has any impact.

Meanwhile, some things that may help at your end:

*Download and install the latest update.

*Do a Clean and Defrag of the hard drive.

*If you haven't done so already, by all means try the Opts -> Return to Factory Settings command. This one often restores BB to doing things that it either used to do or is supposed to do, I've come to expect having to use that command.

*Are you using any Realtime DX effects at the time you do the Rendering? Just a shot in the dark, but you should check to see that none are invoked as an experimental effort.

*Change things ONE AT A TIME and try it again. If the changed thing didn't help, change that back to whatever or wherever it was before changing something else or some other setting, to aboid compounding issues.
