Hi,

I've been working with Pulsar II for some time now and recently I did an upgrade from win98 to XP and soon planning on getting me Cubase SX.

This meant that I did a completly fresh install of all hard- and software. I use nothing else but audio on my PC.

However I encounter some heavy instability problems on the machine. I updated all hard- and software to it's latest drivers and made sure that every piece of hardware has it's own IRQ. Nothing worked so far. I hope SX will be more stable under XP since Cubase crashes about everytime I open it.

Anyway, I also get an error message when starting up Cubase saying "xtc plug not properly installed". I use my Pulsar II board in XTC mode and never had this message before.

I already de- and re-installed the pulsar drivers and software (still running 3.01) but the same message keeps popping up. I can work in Cubase however, but maybe the crashes are due to the fact that it gives this error message on startup...

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Acid :eek:

It could be the Lightwave.dll in the Vstplugins folder. When I do a clean install I always have to remove this file and then it starts without the error message.

Ah yes,

That's the correct solution. Now I remember I had this problem when I just bought the pulsar. Thanx for you reply.

However it only shows this error when starting Cubase for the first time. After that I do not get the message anymore.

Ok, now to fix the hangups in Cubase... (in every session I work with Cubase freezes.

It could be that you're using a plugin that suffers from the P4 denormalization bug. Keep your eyes on the VST Performance meter and watch for the spikes that overload your CPU.
