My bet is that it's a video driver problem. Things to check: 1. turn off scrolling during playback. 2. try ctrl-spacebar playback and see if it also crashes. 3. try changing to 100% if you're running at some other magnification (I always run at 75%, myself). > I can clear Midi data with the plugin, but when I try to apply it, it > gets to 33%, pauses for about 10 seconds, then continues, and at 55% > it's a BSOD.

You really should get a better OS. Of course, you may have hardware that won't be fully supported on newer versions of Windows, such as my Turtle Beach double sound card setup, which works fine for playback and all that, but the output of which isn't recognized by my MIDI to WAV capture software (which always worked fine on Win95). Of course, given your opposition to authorization, you'll want to get Win2K instead of WinXP, but if you're like me, you'd vastly prefer Win2K over WinXP, anyway. -- David W.
