Tom, I would highly suggest you disable any Norton utilities, Antivirus programs when using digital audio programs. Based on my experience, and those of others on these forums, these type of programs tend to be incompatible with digital audio apps. That goes for digital video editing also. This is also the recommendation of Sonic Foundry as well. Ideally, your DAW should be as streamlined as possible. Hope this helps, Bill

I'm running ACID Pro 2.0 with any of the 20 or so Loop +

of use. I need to actually physically reboot the machine,
run ScanDisk and restart Windows 98SE after each lock-up.
