I've been getting this missing GUI bug, where the GUI goes missing half way through a track or after about 10 x project saves, never use to do it,
I updated 2600 pro radeon drivers even rolled back and added and removed memory just to make sure, it's strange, never use to do it before on Cubase 4.XX versions.
Anyways I'm pretty sure its the VC GUI, thats the issue, I tried the Virus VST on W7 32 bit too! that was worse.. the GUI was veryyyyyy slow in reponse changing patches/settings/ even slowed down the sequncer in the background and Im not running the sound through USB either Im going directly out from the sound outputs..
that GUI looks so dense and pretty that thing must chew memory and cpu like no tomorrow.
I would be happy just to look at a bunch of 0's & 1's if it means saving the stability of the VST. Hey thats a good Idea, why can't they have swicthable modes like in logic... swtch from a complex Graphical GUI to a minimal resource GUI. (for those who want to save on CPU and memory)

The computer I got came loaded with Vista 64 bit. Because I got it a couple weeks ago, I'm in line for a free upgrade to Windows 7 when it gets released later in October.

Don't know how it's supposed to work, but hopefully I'll be able to use the TI software again then.
