I recently installed it, just for the heck of it, as i am not really a sound effects type of person, anyways, it ran ok for a couple of days, but my pc acted "weird" at times, well on the 3rd day, the sounds were extremely distorted, and then stopped working all together, so the uninstall etc, and i am back to normal,I agree with Lantec, some type of driver/software conflict, now i have reached the stage where i am really curious as to why it behaved like it did, Oh i am running windows vista home premium SP1
