Cheers for that suggestion bruce, but my problem cannot be solved. Win2000 just sucks for audio.. Theres not even any digital ripping capability due to the lack of an ASPI layer!! On another note, try System Mechanic from http://www.iolo.com/ to edit your startup programs. You can get rid of all those annoying background agents and startup programs with ease...

I understand windows as well as most, and have totally checked out memory usage, but with 300MB free and Reason only eating 25MB of that, i cant be running out of memory, can I? The windows page file is set to over 700MB which seems a bit large - dunno if that is related tho. I cant really ask propellerhead for support either coz im evaluating a demo copy still!! The damn softwares just too expensive for a student.. Sampson: try CTRL-SHFT-ESC to get straight to that task manager.. cheers for the help Mafro

Hey, Since i installed win2k on my machine, Reason hasnt been playing properly. I get like a half second delay when using my keyboard, and changing the buffer settings in the Reason setup has absolutely no effect on this at all. The sound card is a Soundblaster Live Platinum, and ive got the 2000 drivers, and using the Creative keyboard program i get perfect response times with the keyboard - so it has to be Reason. (Also tried FruityLoops and thats fine too.) The machine is an Athlon 1500, with 512MB ram - so no hardware problems should be arrising. The Reason FAQ on propellerhead.se suggests setting audio hardware acceleration to 'Basic' mode, but this has no effect on my system. Any ideas?? Im gonna have to go back to 98 if I cant sort this out! Please save me from that alternative!! Cheers Mafro
