Thanks for such quick response. Just got a free computer couple of weeks ago from a friend. Main objective was to run Music Creator on it. Had windows 2000 installed and a secondary 30 GB hard drive as well (the primary is only 2GB).
Quite new at this computer stuff, but under System Properties it reads
"x86 Family 5 Model 4 Stepping 3, AT/AT/ compatible, 97844 KB RAM".
Doesn't seem good, but hoping it's enough jam for M.C.
Took a day just to get sound out of the program. Couln't get past the "Select Midi input/output" part. Solved the problem with some info from Robomusic. Once I had sound, I tried recording some guitar (direct into sound card). When I'd play back, there would be terrible noise (I don't mean my guitar playing).
I reset my computer and it was gone. Still happens from time to time, and reseting the computer seems to help, but still a pain.
I've been recording with just audio. No midi yet.
One way that will cause DROP OUT instantly is to press Loop on/off while playing my tracks. Other times I'm not sure why it happens.
Also, had and removed a worm called 'Welchia Worm'. Caused "sychost:exe error. Windows is shutting down" to appear while I was on the net. Not sure if this affected M.C.
