thanks, what is the de-normalising issue
and all plugs work fine on the other pcs ive tested so it cant really be that i dont think

check out http://phonophunk.phreakin.com/articles ... zation.php

Interesting it sounds very similar, but doesnt explain how my system used to be ok.

right well my direct sound drivers and multimedia drivers won't open in cubase device manager, its says creamware play/rec device cannot open

and for multimedia driver it asks me to test the sync and then fails

why is this, maybe its related to my problem, heres my pulsar proj http://www.vinyl.dsl.pipex.com/proj.JPG

using the default scope project all the drivers seem to work ok.

I've tried the performance test on http://cubase.freezope.org/perftest/intro

and for direct driver (latency i/p 325.079ms seems high can I adjust the latency?) I get 25% with song stopped 100% overload when playing

with multimedia driver (latency i/p 110.00) i get 25% with song stopped and 100% overload with song playing

with asio scope (latency 24.694ms) 25% stopped 100% overload takes a little while longer though

very confused

It's a native processing problem, so your SFP project won't make much of a difference. Were the other PCs Pentium 4s?

ASIO driver is the one you want to use, forget the others.

I think there's a plugin that you can run in the same channel as those VSTs that blow up:

This way you can test wether it's the denormalizing issue or not.

Try to innstall the old 3.1 a drivers. Solved my probs with Nuendo 2.0.

I'm running SFP 4.0 & SX without any major problems.

it just overloads on most vsti's I don't know what to try next :0( I don't want this to beat me.
the problem is vsti's overloading for no apparent reason and on the exact same system it used to be fine.

looks like I might have to dust my atari off, god I hope not......

Try that denormalizer plugin. Put it in the first slot of a channel. Take one plugin that you know will fail and put it in the second slot. Follow the rest of the instructions.

If that doesn't work, use other plugins. There are plenty to choose from, although the quality varies for each device.

well my PC after one year of constant sorting, still restarts in the middle of anything audio, and when you least expect it.
so I have just about given up!

so I think i'll upgrade, whats the best system, shall i go analogue desk, shall i get a motu interface?

what shall I do, any suggestions please

here's my current kitlist:

pulsar 1 soundcard
yamaha o1v digi desk with adat card linked to adat pulsar
cs2x synth
akai s5000
nova
midex 8/8

Just a thought:
I got my CW system almost stable, just a few odd freezes, instant reboots, and such like, then I got a anti spyware program (Spyware Doctor), and a proper (paid for) AVG anti virus, these removed loads of nasty things from my system, which the free anti virus programs had missed, also there is a Microsoft antispyware program which is good and free.

I had been running my PC offline for a while then put the internet back on for convenience. It is new 3Ghz, 1 gig ram, a P2 and a SRB card.

And since running these antispyware / virus programs I have not had a single freeze or problem with any of this, CW runs perfectly, never freezes etc, whatever I do to the system (I used to reboot into a non USB etc system profile, and had done all the tweaks imaginable).
Now CW runs with everything else, internet, firewall, programs on, etc. All fine.

Much to my surprise!

told you it wasn't your cards or the drivers....

yes Garyb, your tips got the system right, and the malware etc was tripping it up occasionally.
Amazing eh!!

really glad it's working!
