Crashing Advice Please! - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

Hi all,

I have been a reader on this forum for a couple of years (since I got my Virus Classic) but I have only registered today...the day I received my TI2..

I bought a B-stock (customer returned) model from a reputable store. When it arrived, I fired it up nervously after what I had read about it. I went through a few patches, auditioning them...straight away I noticed a bug where an auditioned sound would hold its note forever, even when I switched to a new sound. Literally 2 minutes of doing this and BAM - high pitched screech from my monitors and a crashed Virus!

Obviously I was a bit worried about this - but one factory reset later and everything is working perfectly - and it has been in use all day. I have e-mailed the store to register the issue anyway in case it happens again.

What do y'all think?! Any advice would be great...

I'd love to reinstall the OS, but I'm on 64-bit. I'm not bothered about Virus Control just now, but if they don't have drivers within 4 months I'll not be a happy chappy! Not the best welcome to the world of TI ownership after a couple of years of FLAWLESS Classic use, but I'm happy none the less. Machines without quirks are boring..

Simon this was common in the Older OS we are currently at 3.0.5 and it seems to be a hundred times more stable so the screeching and scratching is fixed here. Please install a 32-bit OS lol.

Thanks a lot for the reply! I am on release 3.0.3.00 at the moment - I will update the Virus on my laptop to 3.0.5 and see if that helps!

Thanks a lot.

Agreed. OS 3.0.5 is a huge step forward compared to older versions.

I have found, and discussed with a virus representative, that the more operations you are attempting to achieve at once, the quicker a crash will occur. I am running 3.0.5 and have found that just taking a little time will prolong the TI2's stability. Yes it is REALLY is vexing cuz time is $, but soon, hopefully REALLY soon we can tweak knobs till are fingers are numb.
