I got a new laptop last year and wanted to run PureData on it (as well as Finale 2009). Reading around a bit, it seemed to make sense to get ASIO. That's when my problems started. PD would freeze the machine, while playing something, so I got a loud continous sound and had to remove the battery to stop it. After a bit more reading, it seems that ASIO is all a bit old hat now and most modern machines should not need it. So I uninstalled ASIO. For a while, I kept getting strange behaviour until I managed to reset everything back to its default - clearly ASIO does things to the setup of the machine that are not undone when it is uninstalled. I have not had any problems since. So the question is: is ASIO necessary at all? Regards, Michael Lawlor

So you upgraded the drivers for Creative which started to freeze Fin2012, and this would be MM's problem?
