Subject:Should I update my M-Audio driver?

I have not had any real problems so far. I effectively tried to crash AP7, it froze up the computer and I had to do a hard restart after I loaded up about 10 loop tracks and on four of the tracks I applied 3 of the new effects and PSP nitro as a chain, so 16 effects at once plus I added absynth as a softsynth to one of the tracks.

Should I update my delta driver to 5.10.00.5057v3 from 5.10.00.0051?

Delta 1010, driver 5.10.00.0051
Win XP Pro SP2
ASUS P5B deluxe wifi -AP
Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 GHz
WD 7200 rpm 8MB SATA 2 hard drives

Yes. How could it hurt?

Do you think it crashed due to plugin count? Or a bad plugin? Or the drivers?

Sorry but I don't understand your question. Your system looks great. Lots of horse power to get the job done.

Ed.

Agreed, that was a confusing question. I have used this old driver for a long time, a while back I updated it and I seemed to have some crashes so I went back to the old one. Wondering if there any AP7 users out there that are using the Delta 5.10.00.5057v3 driver with XP SP2?

I'm using that driver with my Delta 66, in Win XP SP3. No problems at all in AP6, and so far so good with AP7.

Check out the M-Audio forums. I have not installed the latest SP3 drivers for any of my M-Audio devices because of other users' problems.

Updating M-Audio drivers can be a crap shoot anymore.
