Hi Stephen, Thanks for pointing that one out, but unfortunately it didn't help. I'll probably try next disabling hyperthreading and then WinXP for midi playback. That'll ought to give some hints on whether it's a driver or hardware issue. Other than using aplaymidi, there has been 0 crashes or halts... -- Sami ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
