Thats my point, I don't see why it should but it did in my case, soon as rolled back to IE8 problems stopped! I didn't associate it with IE at the time, I only removed it because I couldn't turn off clear type text as I couldn't read the screen properly. I was using the latest version of IE9 (from windows update direct from PC) not the beta. I installed a day before the quick fix, but didn't think anything of it then blamed the quick fix for random the crashes with Sonar.

Could even been related to clear type affect my graphics card, I couldn't pinpoint the exact problem, only the fact that removing IE9 stopped sonar from having random crashes.

Yes very strange???

Well - it is not that strange. I can remember Protools 8 was hanging at startup and even crashing when IE 8 was installed. The "fix" was to roll-back to IE 7 to get everything working again. In short - Protools was completely unusable when the auto-update to IE 8 took place. Don't ask me why. I only know the "engine" of IE is tightly integrated into Windows (you cannot remove it - uninstalling does only a "surface" removing) and has a lot of undocumented side effects and dependencies.

Glad you found the answer however.

I'm not surprise we talking Pro Tools..stoneage program. It doesn't even work correctly on Windows 7- Its made for Windows 98...

Maybe IE 9 is installing some DirectX module that is funking with Sonar?

I'm just happy that Sonar isn't crashing randomly now, spent two days at about 12 hours a time working in X1 with no glitches or crashes:-)

I'm on IE9 and no Sonar X1b crashes here. Just sayin.

Just a side note regrading v-vocal crashes and what twigmans said, v-vocal is crashing because of memory issues, I noted a few days ago that when you have lots of soft synths loaded up then v-vocal crashes, but freeze a few to free up memory and it works fine:-)

SONAR has always crashed for me if memory runs low.  I used to run into it loading very large sample sets in Superior Drummer 2.  I've since gone 64 bit with more memory and that particular problem is a thing of the past.

I have 8Gb RAm in my 64bit machine and start needing to freeze synths to operate V-Vocal when the project reaches around 4Gb RAM.......I have a project right now where task manager reports RAM used @ 6.97Gb and I have no chance of running V-Vocal...now I wouldn't call that running low on memory as there's still a whole Gb available but I suggest that there is a problem with V-Vocal and higher addresses like those fixes for all the synths that CW claimed had similar problems.

Well I'm running 64bit with 8 gig ram, not alot nowadays I know, but I tend to load multiple instances of onmnishere simply because its easier to manage & bounce separate tracks that way than use 1 instance using the 8 channels in omnisphere, thats where my mem gets eaten up.
