"XTC plug not properly installed"

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

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.
