Hi Bob.
 
Ok I will make a list of all drivers for any attached hardware and go on an updating spree.

Intel auto update is what a lot of people miss and that one works. Ta.

According to his sig, he's using AMD.

Hi, yes AMD CPU.
 
Does SONAR have an install log? I reinstalled X3a then patched to X3e. Ran as 'Administrator' with AV disabled.
 
 

Ah I just saw the AMD graphics card in the first post. I can't see signatures right now because these bloody forums don't display the sigs on cellphones :)

Sounds fine. If no errors should be OK.

Just wondering if the time is right to bite the bullet and upgrade to Windows 8? I have MSDN subscription with my job so will be able to download it. Hassle though, having to reinstall everything. Windows 7 Ultimate won't upgrade to 8 and keep apps...

If you do install Win8 I suggest installing it on a clean partition. Make sure you upgrade to 8.1 and run all the windows updates before you do anything else I suggest. I went through this pain six months ago myself.

Ok, have checked all hardware and drivers up-to-date. Saffire Pro MixControl removed re-added.
 
Dim Pro still at 32 bit however.
 
I'm thinking the Pentagon Load patch crash might be a red herring. Can someone try and open the following patch in Pentagon? https://www.dropbox.com/s/y8beqypik3g9kq1/PsyBass%201.fxp?dl=0
 
Default programs are opening in Pentagon so maybe my patch has got corrupted?
 
Been focussing on this issue and haven't tested if I'm still getting the transport won't stop and stop button being greyed out!

Update time. No issues since I ditched the Saffire Pro and bought an RME UCX. Happy days...
