I have a 6 month old lap top with Win7, 64-bit, 4Gb ram and the only software other than those pre-installed is Music Studio 8. Over the course of 2 months, I have been working on a project which currently has 5 tracks. It seems that when I try to mute one or more tracks, my program freezes, and I have to force it closed. This seems to be happening every time now. Are there any fixes for this?

Did you try updating video drivers at any point?

All drivers up to date. Recently, an icon labeled "elists" appeared on my desktop. Properties shows it as a database file and was created on Tues, March 27th at 9:25pm, which was around the time of one of the freezes. Any thoughts on what this is?

IIRC, that's a database file relating to CD information. Should be able to delete it from the desktop.
