Pulling my hair out with midi

I hope its me thats getting it wrong because otherwise there is a serioud flaw
 
Any idea why when I have a midi track triggering a soft synth eg Kontakt and then I go to freeze that track it comes through as silent?  It seems a sporadic problem that I have with the whole x series (not just x 3) one minute it works then the next it doesnt
 
kills my workflow

    I downloaded Kontakt 8 (free) last week, now I have to hit the audio run button after I do anything in the piano roll, it also knocked out Channel Tools and got a message that said channel tools would work with my system. If I had any hair I'd be pulling it out! The only thing I can think to do is remove Kontakt, or at least the majority of it. They give you kontakt 4,5, and some kind of synth program that I really don't need.

    I was having midi dropouts until a forum member mentioned that I needed to up my midi playback buffers.
    It's under Edit -> Preferences -> Midi Playback And Recording
    I set it at 500 and now my midi is working fine.

    Can you a try doing a realtime bounce instead of freezing?
     
    -Right click on the Freeze button and select "Freeze Options"
    -Uncheck Fast Bounce and check Audible Bounce
     
    This will take longer than usual but it's the results that I am interested in here.
