IMO that's odd behaviour of the Scope software. Can't they fix such things? Is their support really that bad. Last week this stupid thing just crashed while assigning a dvd drive a new drive letter (ide) under Windows XP.
That's a different issue, Scope's samplers can load AKAI cd's from your optical drive and hence have them mapped via ASPI. Close Scope before remapping a drive next time :)

Also an easier way to disable Control Panel > Sounds & Audio Devices > Hardware then select one of your cards (perhaps your primary card) from the list of devices and click the "Properties" button below (or just double click the device). Go to the "Settings" tab and uncheck "Reset board if idle". It's just below the "Allow standby" setting in Powermanagement.

That's no reason to crash. Especially not if there are no samplers or samples loaded anywhere in Scope.

That setting *may* help people who have issues with Scope crashing when it's been idle for some hours or overnight....or it may not. I've had different results on different systems (probably depending on what power saving mode Windows is in.)

As for ASPI crashing Scope, that's a bit like having an ASIO output yanked out from under Cubase or Sonar and watching them crash. You can't blame that one on Scope, blame the ASPI layer instead. Or the user for doing something that upset ASPI. :lol: However since you're aware of it, it's probably best to just be mindful of the effects and steer around it...

I'm pretty sure we don't have ASPI installed at all. You mean an empty Scope project needs to crash because I changed the driver letter of a DVD-ROM drive?

Honestly I have no idea what Scope is using for optical drive support these days, but the main point is to make sure the Filebrowser is closed if you're mucking about with stuff. I don't recall any ASPI discussion in the STS forum for the last few years, it's possible that CW/SC followed the rest of the industry and implemented SPTI instead (which was Xp's standard) but I haven't seen anyone mention it.

BUT, I could phrase this line-of-thought a different way:
Patient: "It hurts when I do this Doc, what do I do?!"
Doctor: "Don't do that!"

If Scope is running, it will probably crash.

I can confirm this from my experiences :lol:

thats right, at least if you spend your days changing drive letters. I'd rather light a candle than curse the dark.
