Hi, I am having latency issues with some music software. i have bee through. many avenues tryig to find the source of the problem. i recently installed an X2 processor and some upgrades to the software. One application crashes when trying to uses DFD (direct from Disk), the other gives huge latency when trying to play along on a midi keyboard with the music. the error messages (lots of them) recorded in system tools -> event viewer-> system are: Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7023 Date: 23/05/2007 Time: 6:51:45 p.m. User: N/A Computer: BITCHIN-RIG Description: The Application Management service terminated with the following error: The specified module could not be found.
