I've been using Live 2.1.2 with my Dell Inspiron, running the sound directly out of the onboard soundcard. Crappy, I know, but I never had any problems.
Recently I bought an M-Audio Quattro and started using it ... it works well, but (I don't know for sure that this is related to the Quattro [although it is strange that it would start happening now]) Live has started crashing occasionally ...
I'll click on a clip, and immediately Live will tell me that 'A serious program error has occurred', and Live needs to be restarted. I need to reboot to get everything working properly again.
Anyway, this problem has happened maybe twice in 10 - 15 run throughs of my set, and it wouldn't freak me out so much if I wasn't about to tour and play lotsa shows ... I don't like my chances of getting through it without Live crashing on me onstage.
Has anyone else had these same issues? Could anyone else suggest a way I could fix this problem, 'cause it's stressing me out, and I'm already nervous about the shows; it's kind of a headache I don't need!
Thanks in advance
These crashes are freakin' me out!
i seem to have occasionally had these problems on a pc as well. AS best I can figure, it happens with sets that i;ve messed with before in the past (i.e. not a new set that i;ve never closed). It seems to happen with sets where i've been playing with a set and recorded new clips, but chose not to save the set when i close. then it asks what to do with the samples, i sometimes do one thing sometimes another with those. But when i reopen sets like these i've occasionally (not very often) had the situation you've. Sometimes you can;t get rid of that serious program error box, but a workaround is to rapidly hit ctrl s to save while mouse clicking the box to close it--with just the right timing it will save and get rid of the box. BAsically, it might help to rebuilb you set fresh in a blank live set if at all possible. Other than giving youself a clean slate/set, I don't know much to help you with.

Thanks ...
Hey, Ryan. Cheers for your help! A workaround cheat like the one you've offered is what I was hoping for. Fingers crossed it doesn't crash too much. Incidentally, do you know if it's to do with the Quattro, or is that just a coincidence?

Hi Mark,
as you are saying the problem came about with the Quattro, please make sure you are using their latest driver version (available from www.m-audio.com). Please respond might you need further assistance.
