Hi all, Still working on a crash problem. Heres where I'm at. I have some songs that run have to 3/4 though and then go to slow more[45rpm to 33rpm or even slower firgure of speech] It runs to the end with vthe screen froze. Sometimes toeards the end it speeds back up. Once it plays all the way though it works fine. These songs were frozen with realtracks so I unfroze them and will try them tomorrow. I also had a song with all midi except for real drums. It acted the same. I have added memory, we also moved a bunch of pro tool songs to exteral drive so now i'm at 52% full. I was at 95% full. We defeaged it. I'm running windows exp. It also happen when tring it on window visa. someone thought to slow down the generation in real tracks and that didn't help. Any other Idea's. 2009.5 I have on my exteral and works fine.
Thanks again John

Some ideas:
1. run with the BIAB window at full size
2. make sure your video drivers are current
3. try a reboot
4. try Return to Factory Settings

5. Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest factory update for the 2010 version, too.

Hello John,

Does it happen with one song in particular, or any song you play including the demo songs?

Hi an update to where I'm at. I have installed to updates right this time. I went to the songs I was having trouble with, They started very slow but I could stop the song then it worked just fine. I'm hoping I can go tomorrow and not have to restart them like today. I did noctice with the task manger open that when this happen my cpo? was at 100% for most of the songs even with realtracks were somewhere between 40 to 75 %. There were times when at the start would be 100% AND work fine. I'm about re3ady to install biab2010 on my c drive and leave the rest on exteral and see if that helps. I use biab for love shows so have been hesitent to comit to this. Thanks for the help.
John
