Play / stop flash bug...
Hey everyone, long time, no post. I hope everyone has been doing great! I also hope it's okay for me to still post in the LE forum even though I just "went HD" (HD2 Accel on my old Athlon 64 X2 4200 system).
My question is, are any of you who have experienced the "play / stop flash" bug in the past seeing better results with the 7.4cs1 update? I have been getting that error (where you hit play and instead of playing, the play button and then the stop button quickly flash and then no play ensues) for a while now, on both LE and on the new HD setup (7.3). I just installed 7.4cs1, and I'm hoping it will improve things in that regard. Any ideas regarding what causes this? Thanks, and happy holidays.

Re: Play / stop flash bug...
Wireless adapter? As in "wireless keyboard / mouse"?
I am using a Logitech wireless mouse / keyboard, so if that's a potential problem, I can look into a wired setup, although it would be less flexible with my system. I also have a Frontier Design Tranzport hooked up to my computer, which is also a "wireless" accessory. Wouldn't want to have to ditch that though... As far as LAN, I have two LAN ports on the mobo, but they're both disabled. I also have an mLAN setup (Yamaha's firewire interfacing) for my digital boards, but the play / stop flash big still occurs even when that is NOT installed on the computer, and I don't notice any increase in occurance of the bug with it installed, not installed or installed and turned off in the system tray applet. Thanks for your suggestions.

Re: Play / stop flash bug...
wireless adapter refers to wireless lan card that
connects to wireless modem for internet connection this is what causes my PT to play up in this way i wouldn't expect it to be your mouse and keyboards or the Frontier Design Tranzport although with PT and compatability it wouldn't surprise me if it was |

Re: Play / stop flash bug...
Oh... sorry.
My DAW PC is "dedicated", and doesn't go anywhere near the Internet, and doesn't have any wireless network set up on it. I have other computers for that, and if I need to do an update or a authorization, it gets done on a dedicated internet machine, then virus checked, then I sneakernet it to the DAW, where I enable the anti-virus software, check it again, then disable the anti-virus and install it. A pain to be sure, but a lot safer. So I guess the source of my play / stop flash issues if different than yours. Again, thanks for your help.

I havenīt encountered this "play/stop" bug in 7.4 at all and Iīve used 7.4 quite a bit by now , on the same system. 002R or Mbox2. No cs1 here yet. I had - and still have- this bug in some 7.1 sessions. No idea where itīs coming from, no net or networks here. I revert back to 7.1 or 7.3 every now and then because 7.4 canīt run my old, large sessions on the same computer , 7.4 being much heavier to run by itself on my DAW. I use Ghost and removable system drives for easier life. Thatīs one nasty bug, I thought it was gone for all in 7.4.

Nope... I just experienced it a little while ago, even on 7.4cs1 HD Accel (Athlon 64 4200 X2, 2 GB RAM, Asus A8n-SLI Premium mobo, ATI X550 video card). On the site somewhere I saw a "what's fixed in 7.4"(or was it 7.3?) page that mentioned it's fixed on many, but not all systems, and that Digidesign is still investigating it...

Re: Play / stop flash bug...
Still happening here occasionally.
I can't consistently replicate it, though; happens at random times. Clearing out the windows prefetch occasionally helps, but not always.
