Yes in RB in order for the program to be stable I have to BOTH:
1. disable hyperthreading in the BIOS AND
2. run RB in a "Discrete Thread-normal Priority"




Hmm. Never had any dealings with threading - another learning curve to traverse!

So it sounds to me like a computer specific issue or maybe a corrupt install? Sounds to me that you're duel booting XP & Linux as well. There are some issues with this that can affect Windows. Mostly noted with Ubuntu 10.04 & Win 7 but.....................
I'm a Linux user and I do believe your best to forget Wine & Biab



I think it's unlikely to be computer-specific, as it happens on both my desktop and laptop at the same point in the sequence of songs played by Juke Box.

This all happened before I tried installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot on my desktop - I'd installed Ubuntu on a redundant server I reformatted for the purpose, but the server doesn't have a sound-card.

I'm now experiencing the joys of missing codecs. Do you have a specific reason for thinking BIAB and Wine won't work together, or is this a general opinion on Wine's capabilities? If I ever make a complete transition from Windows to Linux it won't happen until I've run through a long period of dual-booting. I'm hopeful that Wine will ease the process by letting me run familiar Windows software until I've found Linux equivalents and done the file-conversions.

PS I love the idea of a duel between XP and Linux! Pistols at dawn?

PPS My colleague has just phoned to say that he's tried a number of draft files I'd been working on, adding RealTracks to previously MIDI-only songs, and that his Vista installation crashes at the same point in the Juke Box sequence as both my computers do.
