Hi everybody,
I used reason 4.0.1 build 973 with Windows XP on this Desktop PC for quite some time now without problems.
All of a sudden, however, and I do not see a connection to other recently installed hardware or software, reasons freezes whenever I try to save something. Sometimes even when I want to open a sample or some file from the soundbank.
This is totally frustrating since whats the point in creating something that I can neither save nor export =(
Please help me if you have an idea...reinstallation has not helped anything.
I will be thankful for any advice!

Installed IE 8 recently?
Just saw somewhere that IE 8 breaks reason somehow, but that switching to firefox or going back to IE 7 fixes it after a restart.
I can't imagine how the two would be related but it's worth a shot

Just tried it...and I actually had IE8 installed...but now after deinstalling it and rebooting...same problem =(
Thanks though!

I have an idea... if you have a ton of refills installed try moving a bunch of them out of the reason folder and see if the problem stops

Well...so now I went through all I could figure out...however without much success.
First I backed up my refills and my .rns files.
Then I deinstalled Reason.
I deinstalled my entire soundcard driver etc.
Then I reinstalled both (first sound card of course).
Once I started Reason and clicked save....it froze right away.

So I really do not have an idea except maybe reinstall my entire XP...but that would take up way too much time and work than I could currently efford.
Any other ideas anybody?

Allright...so in a last attempt I played around in the Setting section especially in the Midi Device section I disabled the older devices. Next I used older system restore points to "travel back in time". And now all of a sudden it seems to work. I dont know which one did the trick but as long as it runs again!
So I hope this helps anybody who has a similar problem!
=)

"Next I used older system restore points to "travel back in time".

Tricky bastard I guarantee that is the sole thing that fixed it... Midi prefs shouldn't affect it.
