John,
Thank you for willing to test... But I would not even go there.
If Larry was able to replicate the problem in same manner that it got me , it exists.

I am very sure the problem is with BIAB / How it handles the plugin.

If you google:"access violation" "halion sonic 3" you will see that this is not a global and most hits point to this post.

P.S. As it goes: First step to recovery is acceptance. Until PG looks at it, I doubt users can resolve this.., but who knows?

Misha.
