Thanks to everyone who've chimed in so far! I appreciate having everyone's thoughts.

I started working on a new song and after 1 hour of working and pressing the Generate button loads of times, I have yet to see the "Problem" error message window appear!

However, as I said earlier, I experienced a period of time, yesterday, where I was able to work without interference from that error message but then it started up again!

So while I'm enjoying being able to work "freely" for the moment, I remain on high alert because, after yesterdy, I don't believe the problem just resolved itself and went away.

A couple of thoughts...

... there may be something about this seeming intermittency might have some kind of relevance to solving this problem.

... I though the may have been something about the particular tune on which I was working but I ruled that out because I shut the program down and started working on the same song from scratch and the message kept appearing on the newly-started file.

... was it something about the particular STY... (I don't know... I thought I switched styles)

... and with you guys prompting me to test with with an ALL MIDI syle and finding that the proplem still happened and to a "worser" degree... I'm all at sea as to what it might be!

Anyway, I just wanted to post this update about not seeing that popup window in the last hour of working on an all new ALL REAL song. So I'm going back to work now while the error message might be sleeping. (:-)

Thanks,
