Asio problems.
What I did. I went into:
My computer>Control Panel>Display>Effects>Visual effects: I unchecked those 5 boxes under Win 98SE freeing up resources. Don't see any need for those animation and those other stuff. Pushing my PC to the limit since then. No Asio thing yet. If the Video Card has something to do with it I will know now.
I have never used XP. I turned those effects off in 98 SE and Win ME and they remained unchecked. No probs up till now with ASIO or anything. We must eliminate these obstacles. I would get a copy of XP and see how it works but I would not be using it. We musicians and recording engineers must know that Operating Systems were not made specifically for us. Every update or upgrade benefits the corporate and home users more than us. When we get an OS working good I say forget about upgrades and updates. Too much headaches makes you forget the music. I wonder if Bill Gates ever played music????:lol:
Two hints on your "XP changing its own settings." Yours may not fall under one of these, but just in case:
1. System Restore returning to a previous restore point: disable system restore when you aren't explicitly using it (setting a restore point, or restoring one) in WinXP.
2. Changed the setting, but didn't reboot afterwords... then your machine gets restarted or crashes, and the settings don't stick for you.
Cheers Sub, but none of both are solutions. As for now (I've just booted from Hibernation) it's still unchecked, but I suspect some program like ICQ/Outlook Express/... reactivates the option. It's not really fully checked, when I get back to it, but it seems 'intermediately', greyed out checked. I can reset it always manually of course. Think I'll have to do some close monitoring on when it occurs...
No ASIO problem up till today 24/4. System been up all night recording. It seems as though VIDEO settings is very critical in this problem. It is not Logic.:D:D
