Show Stopping Problem in Music Creator
Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2004 2:51 am
I recently purchased Music Creator as an upgrade from an older version of Cakewalk software that I used to have (an older Home Studio). I thought that it would fix my problem, but the problem still persists.
When I load up a file and press play, everything works fine until I press stop. When I press stop, whatever note the computer is playing is held as the software freezes. I don't know how long this goes on until, but I can make it stop by waiting about nine seconds, and then pressing Control Alt Delete, which will interrupt the freeze and return control to the software. I've tried installing Music Creator on a different computer, and this behavior didn't exist. Even on my older computer, the older Cakewalk worked fine. But now on this computer, neither Music Creator or the older Cakewalk software will work as expected (where stop literally stops everything without any problems). What should I do?
EDIT: I installed Music Creator on my roommate's computer... It has the same exact hardware configuration. The primary difference between our computers is that I have XP and he has 2000. But again, I tried Music Creator on my Mom's computer which is XP. So with those situations, I suspect that it isn't XP's fault or the hardware's fault... Maybe it's both. Or maybe I have a very sloppy environment...
