Hi

I thought I would post here as im not getting any joy on the cakewalk forum.

I have an Acer Aspire 1520 WLMi laptop running WinXP SP2 home edition that I use solely for music
production. This laptop has been running PTLE 7.0 (previously 6.9) with a Digi002R with no issues
for a number of months. I have recently purchased Sonar 5 producer edition and installed the latest
Sonar patch, but unfortunatly I am having serious problems with this software.

I am running through the first tutorial, when playing the midi file Sonar will run for a few
minutes then will go into a hard hang. There is a loud feedback type noise coming through the
montors. The computer is completely locked at this point giving me no option but to press the
power switch.

It may be worth pointing out that my windows install is optimised for Protools, with all
unnecessary services disabled. Could this be causing issues with Sonar?

Im wondering if anyone here has Sonar5 producer edition and PTLE7.0 installed and running
with no problems. The guys on the cakewalk forum recomend I re-install windows, something
I don't want to do because PT is running fine.
