Tabs across top of project not responding

[metrognome]

ASUS laptop, Win 8.1, i-5, T5.2.4, 32bit.

Tracktion also takes a LONG time to load and be operational.
Additionally, when I run T (as admin) by clicking a specific edit from my projects folder it also opens all of the previous edits and not just the one I wanted.
I can choose which of those edits by clicking on the 'little unidentifiable thing' at the upper left hand corner just barely visible to the left of the 'projects' tab, below the Tracktion icon in the title bar.

But all the tabs are 'dead'. Including the settings tab.
Grrr--no way to get to settings page.

All worked fine yesterday.

Made no changes other than attempting to add SampleTank to the plugin folder (which it wouldn't recognize btw). Thinking that that change may be 'the' problem I removed it from the plugs folder.

Even more, the cpu meter shows red and warns me that e-e will be turned off for me even though I have only 6 tracks with very few plugs, which I also removed from the tracks for troubleshooting.

Again, worked fine yesterday.

I've also un-installed and re-installed T, re-booted computer. All remains the same as above description.
I've used T on the lappy for months, starting with the first version of T5, without this problem.

None of this anomaly occurs on my desktop box Win7, which runs aforementioned SampleTank and many plugs with a low cpu useage.

btw, 'the little unidentifiable thing' isn't on my Win 7 box when I open T there.

I've been using the lappy to track my band, and the home box for editing.

Any clues?

No.

Anything in the log file?

[metrognome]

Good morning jabe.
I found the log file but my understanding of it's contents is, at best, minimal.

I post the last entry here:

Here's the latest attempt at troubleshooting:

Changed the name of plugin and projects folders and opened T. That allowed full use of tabs again.
So I cleared the plug list in settings and re-scanned using the changed plug folder name to look in.
Encountered 5 instances of "VPA Plugin rejected VPA host" and a new warning that hasn't happened before about windows firewall advising a blockage. I clicked on 'allow' and the scan continued.
At the bottom, in red, was advised that 5 of the plugs are deactivated after failing to initialize correctly.
So maybe I've made my own discovery as I was pondering this while drifting off to sleep this morning at 1:30.
Crossing fingers as my band were going to do some overdubs today.

If you see some other problem in the log file I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thanks much.

Glad to hear you've made some progress with it.

The log file all looks in order to me, but I'm not an expert. I've compared it with mine and it seems okay. Let's hope the devs spot something wrong. The WASAPI errors are not fatal (see http://forums.tracktion.com/forum/track ... r-80070490).

The "Attempting to load..." lines might indicate something amiss, but my guess is that there's something not 100% with those plug-ins, so there's been extra code added to get round it. And all plug-ins were then loaded okay.

Good luck with today's session.

Ha ha jabe. I followed that link about WASABI errors.
They be talking weird stuff about dangling dongles.....:0)

Still running OK so far.

Thinking I REALLY don't use or need many of those plugs, so spring house cleaning's on my bucket list.

I still need to figure out how to use SampleTank on the win8.
Works fine on my win7 box.

It's a bit weird the log file you posted reports things happening at 06:53 AM, when your next post says you shut things down at 01:30 AM.

There does seem to be a big gap in the log between you opening an edit, then the WASAPI error, like a 7 hour gap.... were you using it okay in that time?

Oh yes, all the witchcraft! I've been a programmer in the real world, but all that stuff is like Hobbit happenings.

I've found (for many versions now) that if I leave Tracktion running for a long time it... develops relational issues with the ASIO driver. If I walk away from it and return the next day, it crashes as it shuts down, which locks up the ASIO driver and requires a reboot before it (or any other DAW) can run again.

chico, it's called giving up trying to sort it out, for the night, and getting some sleep.
23:50:13 is 10 minutes til midnight
6:53 is 6 hours of sleep
looks like I left it running while in dreamland

Cool, that makes sense... i think i thought you mailed it in BEFORE 6:53 am on the 5th April, but i must have misread the date and timestamps on your posts or something, because it doesn't look like you did

Dumb question, but you have rebooted the laptop at some point recently, right? I know some people like hibernating/keeping stuff on all the time, but you never know ...
