Please go to Options | Audio | Advanced and make sure Read/Write Caching is unchecked. If they already are, try checking them as a test.

If, and only if, you have an UltraDMA hard drive, make sure it's in DMA mode. Go to Control Panel | System | Device Manager and click the plus next to Disk Drives. Double click on your hard drive, click Settings, and make sure the DMA box is checked. If it is not, check it, restart, and make sure it stays checked. Hope that clears up the problem.

Best Regards,

SONAR LE version 4. This worked well and then when I wanted to play previously recorded projects the stop button ceased to stop the audio playback but the curser stopped moving L to R. After a few seconds got the message 'program not responding'. The program froze. Only option was to exit the program (using task manager) and start again but this took longer than usual. Reported the problem and got a complimentary SONAR LE version 6 but the same problem occured.
Eventually I found out that if, on first opening the program, I recorded and saved a project then all worked well and I could playback previously recorded projects without a problem. So now the first thing on opening SONAR LE is to open a new project press record for 2-3 seconds then save and close and all works well.

Basically the problem only occured when, if after opening the program, I went straight to play back a previously recorded project.

Has anyone any idea what could be the reason for this?

I use an edirol UA-25 connected to a laptop running on XP professionl with plenty of capacity.
