tbosco I'm keeping my fingers crossed as I write this, but I have gone from 25 white-outs a day with X2 to none since yesterday morning...and I'm trying to figure out exactly what changed. I froze a few more tracks in my current project, and I changed a Windows setting to "Adjust for Best Appearance" in the Performance Options tab of Win7 (this makes no sense to me since "adjust for best performance" seems like the more logical choice). But whatever... It's running MUCH better today, and all synths, plugins, options, screenshots, and so forth are working glitch-free. Tony
