I just have time for a quick response this morning. When I went to defrag last night it told me I did not have enough room left on the c drive, so I moved the Real Tracks & drums to the backup drive. I defragged overnight even though the dialog daid it did not need it. This am the situation is better, using much lower cpu than yesterday, but still breaking up at random. It can play a whole song through maybe but then breakup on the second or third go around. I am going to free up more space and see if it keeps improving.

The situation with freeze is that if the song is set to loop, if I hit freeze all tracks then it will loop without regenerating usually flawlessly. But during the same song if I 'stop' then hit 'play' it will still regenerate while still being frozen, and will almost always breakup when it plays again.

There is a regular on this forum who seems to alway tells noobs that they have not provided enough information so I was trying to head him off at the pass.


Rachel, thanks. I will follow your advice tonight or this weekend when I get a chance.

BarryKJ, I don't use Windows auto updates. Too many folks lose their audio completely after one of those 'updates'. I download and install security updates regularly. Anti-virus runs a weekly scan.

I've got to get to work. Final thought is that PG should post realistic minimum system requirements.
