I have a Toshiba 32-bit 2GB Ram 2.16 GHz Dual Core I have tried all latency setting and still get Midi light and music stops. It didn't do it as much as it does it now that I upgraded to 1.5 When I had 1.1 Itch it worked fine with the latency at 2. Can you help?

I have had the same problem before and I thought it was my USB port or my operating system. Turns out it is windows vista that causes the problems, I have tested my NS7 on Windows XP and a Mac, works 100% no problems. Windows just is not a good choice for any audio software especially with the NS7. My advice is downgrade from Vista or spend the money to get a Mac book it is well worth it.

Hope this helps!

Hello, have you updated your bios recently? I would recommend checking you have all the latest bios,chipset and driver updates available for your system these commonly can resolve issues in which a computer is not being efficient.

You need to check on your PC builders website ie Toshiba to see what updates are available and for instructions on how to flash it.
