Subject:Here's one for the books. Posted by: americanstranger Date:7/10/2003 10:53:28 PM I have come here with a couple of problems I had with ACID Pro and M-Audio's Mobile-pre. Thanks to the helpful people of this forum, you've gotten me past latency problems and strange noises, and I really appreciate it. But I've got a new one, and man, is it a doozy. I contacted M-Audio when I first bought the Mobile-pre to tell them about the latency problem I was having, and their tech support was nice enough to write back. He told me that since I was using Win2K, I had to install MS Service Pack 3 in order for Mobile-pre to work properly. So I did, and since I installed, my machine is prone to just shutting down entirely when I'm running ACID. Just reboots, out of nowhere. Happens during playback, happens during recording. Happens whenever the damned machine feels like making it happen. I figured maybe installing SP4 might help, so I did that tonight. No dice - after installing SP4, I opened ACID and started putting together a radio show I'm developing. Boom, crash. Anyone ever heard of anything like this? I searched the archives in case someone else had experienced this before me, but saw nothing. This isn't the program crashing, it's the machine rebooting. And it only happens when ACID is running. I'll go bang my head on the desk now. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thanks. -as

Reply by: Iacobus Date:7/12/2003 11:57:28 AM I'm not entirely knowledgeable on Windows 2000, but doesn't it have a setting where the system automatically restarts when a system failure occurs, just as Windows XP does? You might want to check that out. In addition to that, try uninstalling and reinstalling ACID and updating/reinstalling not only your soundcard drivers but your video card drivers as well. You can also try turning off video acceleration to see if that helps. Also be absolutely sure nothing else is running in the background or loads before you run ACID. HTH, Iacobus

You might want to check that out. Yes, Win2k is essentially the same as XP in that regard.... I believe you right click 'my computer', go 'advanced', 'startup and recovery' and uncheck restart automatically.. teknik14
