"Are you pretty sure it's not related to the media browser (i.e., browser's open in the screen sets where drive turns on)? "

There was thread relating to Windows installing s floppy driver of some kind that may be causing this?

I've actually taken the time to setup my screensets the way I like as a normal template as well as in a few test projects.

I don't keep the browser open in any (yet) since it's just a "B" away.

I wish it was that, it would be an easy fix, so to speak.

I DO have another idea I'm trying now -- TBC.

Okay. Is the browser really closed or just collapsed? I was the one who was having problems with long pauses between screensets where the browser was either collapsed or open but not completely closed. I disabled the floppy controller in Win7 and everything was fine. It actually turned out I had a floppy still configured in BIOS from an old install, and that's why Windows installed the controller driver (so I turned floppy off in BIOS). But I do think the browser constantly polls whatever drives are configured on your system, even when just switching between screensets with the browser open or collapsed.

Well I've got GOOOD news!

I've solved both the crashing and the floppy issue!

Here's the deal:

1- I disabled the floppy in the BIOS (though that doesn't speak to WHY screensets were making it turn on/off/click).   Not a problem anymore at least!

2- I FORGOT that i had installed RealVNC on my DAW (but I actually don't use it so I forgot it was there) which also installs a dispaly "mirror driver".
Once I uninstalled RealVNC I was able to switch screensets rapidly and constantly for quite awhile without a single crash!

And changing screensets happens quickly now too.

WHEW - I feel like I can at least move forward now and get to know X1 (I actually do know a bunch already hehe).

I'm happy to report this progress and hope it may help others!

Thanks for the feedback from those who provided it - including Seth who was kind enough to help in PM!

Coolness. Yeah, I was really annoyed when I had the pause on my machine. Now I have one less thing to worry about.

Deinitely coolness lol.

I still think there's an issue as to why screensets would cause clicking on an empty floppy (except, asyou mention if the browser was pointing to it specifically).

But at least I'm not stuck in mud now! ;)

Thanks.

Still having this issue while switching screenset with browser open or opening media browser on screensets.
Sonar (Platinum, latest March 2015 Update) will hang for several minutes.
This happens on my Lenovo Y510p notebook.
There is no floppy option in the BIOS, nor do I see a floppy drive in the device manager of Windows (8.1).
 
Anyone else using a Y510p?
 
I still can't really understand why this only happens with Sonar, I do not have any issues with other software on this notebook.
 
Thanks,

i suggest you start a new one and document precisely what you're seeing and the steps taken to reproduce it.

I thought the same Mesh.
