Default Reaper Locks Up When Switching Apps...

I’ve experienced Reaper 3.01 locking up a few times when I’m browsing through the V3 PDF and following the tutorial files…

I’ve tried some of the options in preferences (the tracks display “offline” when Reaper doesn’t have focus), but it still seems to lock up now and again when I flip back to Reaper.

I’m running external midi and only 4 or five audio tracks from the tutorial files…

…any ideas?

Thanks…

Do you have by chance any crash logs / error messages? (How to find them: http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=36653)

When you say "lock up", does Reaper go into "meditation" using 50% CPU?
Check the Task Manager, it may be same/similar thing that sometimes happens to me when MIDI to external device is lost.

The Event Viewer says...
Source: Application Hang
Category: (101)
Event: 1002

By "lock up", I mean that I would get an egg timer symbol and had to do a force quit.

I changed a couple of settings in preferences today, and I couldn't repeat yesterday's lock ups...

However, when quitting, Reaper took ages to quit, and flashed sequentially all the led's on the midi interface, so this could well be related to external midi...

I'll keep investigating...
