There are problems with Windows Vista and Ableton Live. One of those problems is you have to be running an administrator account to open MP3's.

Ableton Live Users Should Wait to Upgrade to Vista; Incompatibility Details

Did you email support with your problems? It says right in the index they don't monitor this forum, and it's possible no one else has had this problem.

Hello, I just installed the MIDI OX but still no steady sync. The BPM keeps jumping in the MD's display and OX can't generate a steady clock itself as i can see in it's MIDI sync window. When i use the MD as the master, i can perfectly record and loop audio but in reverse it's not possible due to t...

There is a very long thread dedicated to the problem of MIDI sync. The short answer is Ableton is working on the issue. They are having trouble making Ableton work with every MIDI interface/ computer combination out there. At any rate, Ableton Live can be slaved to the Machinedrum. This will give yo...

I use the M-Audio MIDISport 4x4 as my MIDI interface.
I don't use any audio from my computer, I use Live purely as a MIDI sequencer.

I posted that information when I first posted the MIDIOX solution I'm currently using.

I have the problem, but it's not the interface's or the EMX's fault. If the EMX is your only bit of external gear, then I recommend salving Ableton Live to the EMX rather than letting the 'puter generate your clock. If you have more gear that needs clock, see my earlier posted solution about using M...

Since I use Live to playback MIDI notes in a loop on my hardware, I would not want it retransmitting a program change if I selected a new loop which I intended to play on the same patch. This is because I may make filter changes or other manipulations that I would want to carry over to the next set ...

Why Why.. Live 6 will only fire a midi program change if the clip pg is different from the last sent pg and when the set is stopped. This must be a stupid bug, dont remember 5 doing this. Can you please fix this, im forced to go back to version 5 to perfom my show. Thanks I'm not sure this is a bug...

By any chance, you don't have those keys mapped to do a task in Live(other than play notes), do you?

I bought the laptop (a tablet PC), the software, and a MIDI interface about a month ago. It's working very well (Thanks to Pen2Live and MIDIOX helping out with the rough spots). Since I don't use any audio processing, the 1.5ghz Pentium M is more than enough (for simple MIDI playback, the processor ...

It seems to me that it's not the midi clock that drifts, but the audio. That would explain why people using only hardware synths don't have any problem. To those experiencing midi drifting when synced to live: try the "driver error compensation" lesson and check that the offset always sta...

The only solution I know about is to wait until Ableton Live releases a Vista compatible version.
