Another small problem and that's it I think. Just trying to get everything ship shape.
I think Cubase crashing was a midi problem, I had all sorts of different ports selected.
I have moved the 'ignore port filter' file out of it's folder and have disabled all the ports I don't need using just the standard 'Cubase midi in/out' However in the Cubase Direct Music section I cannot disable the Emulated Creamware input, I can choose not to show it but I can't make it inactive, it won't let me. Is this OK as long as I don't use it.
sounds like it. also, you have 2 cpus showing because of hyperthreading. one more clean istall wouldn't be a bad idea, although it may work fine now....
Just an update on this, the problem was still there until I did a reformat of hard drive and reintall of everything. Problem gone. No clicks, nothing, perfect! I intsalled the inf. files immediately, just in case anyone is in the same situation, seems like my original intallation was corrupt. Doh!
Did you have HT turned off before you reinstalled? If you had it turned off, Windows would have installed in ACPI Uniprocessor mode (non-HT). I've never had good results with HT on, so I'd always advise turning it off (and properly re-installing with uniprocessor kernel).
HT is still on unfortunatly, seems to be ok though. I have one question about the RAM installation. I have 2 1GB sticks installed in slots next to each other (1st two slots) do I need to change this so they are in 1st and 3rd slots? It seems inicate that.
though it's named RandomAccessMemory it cannot be randomly accessed - there are defined cycles for read-write-refresh, which makes the RAM inaccessible for the (much faster) CPU at regular intervals.
The dual channel memory controller (simplyfied) shifts the timing of the 2 banks against each other to reduce this effect.
If one bank is not available, the CPU is automatically directed to the other one.
and that's it I think. Just trying to get everything ship shape.
