I've been working on this for a week now... HELP!!
Setup:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
HP Pavilion dv7 Laptop - Intel i5/8GB RAM/ 1 GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 dedicated video card
Chauvet X-Factor DMX interface (USB powered) - seperate USB bus
M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB audio Interface - seperate USB bus
ShowXpress 6.25 (including current windows Fix)
Cakwalk Sonar Professional 8.5.3
Usage:
Using Cakewalk Sonar files to control ShowXpress via MIDI linked with LoopBe1 virtual MIDI driver. I've used this combination for our shows for the past year on an older Compaq running XP with no problems whatsoever (Running Sonar 6 and ShowXpress 5-something). That computer is done with so I've upgraded.
Problem:
While playing through song files in Sonar, thus triggering MIDI to ShowXpress, I get ControlBoard.exe APPCRASH errors. Sometimes I can go 1/2 hour. Sometimes not even one song.
Here's the complete error - - - - - - - - -
Faulting application name: ControlBoard.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4cacade1

Exception code is always the same: 0xc0000005
Through msconfig, I've disabled AVG Antivirus, as well as many other services and programs.
In device manager, I've disabled the wireless networking device as well as the internal audio devices (analog mic/speakers & HDMI audio device)
I've disabled Windows firewall and disabled DEP for ControlBoard, Live and ScreenControl...
Nothing has stopped the problem... I'm am at a loss... A beast of a laptop and I'm stuck...
Am I missing something??
TIA

BTW, I'm using the 1.04 drivers for BOX x64, but when I look in Device Manager at the properties, then driver details, windows states EFKusb.sys is NOT signed.
I deleted all instances of it to reinstall the driver and after I point to the folder with the downloaded Digitally signed drivers to install it, a pop-up shows up and asks if I want to install drivers that are not signed... I say yes, it installs, the Box shows up in USB portion of Device Manager, working, ControlBoard sees it... Still, when I check properties, Windows states it's not signed.
And I still get APPCRASHes
What's up with that?
