I have been having MAJOR issues deleting UAD plugs within SONAR since UAD plugs existed. Not a disaster every time, but randomly deleting UAD plugs (and some others) but I can't repeat them to say exactly what I am doing when SONAR crashes.... it becomes unresponsive and requires a HARD QUIT.
This has happened with WIN XP, 7 and 8 and Sonar back to whatever version was up to date in 2005.... new versions of WIN or SONAR has not made this problem disappear. It is a BUZZ KILL and I usually use the crash to SHUT DOWN the system until next time.
It is not happening every 10 minutes or every time I insert or delete a PLUGIN but does happen every few hours or so.
Not complaining, just learned to live with this.
