My Cubase 5 was working just fine until suddenly it started crashing during startup. I did everything imaginable, including reinstalling Cubase, messing with "compatibility settings" in Win7, and in short I pinned down the problem to one file: "WaveShell-VST 6.0.7.dll". Whenever I remove it from the VST plugins folder, everything is perfect, Cubase loads. I have no idea whatsoever why it started crashing Cubase. And the Waves plugins were working fine. I also uninstalled the Waves plugins and reinstalled (latest version, 6.0.8, but for some reason the dll is named 6.0.7), tried different installers (online, offline).Waves Tech Support is ONLY available for customers whose maintenance agreement under the Waves Update Plan is current.

I already had that WaveShell crashing cubase problem a long time ago. Updating solved it. But now there's nothing to update.
Waves sucks, yes, no support, f**k that, etc. We all know.
I just want to know if anyone has any idea what I could do to solve this, maybe delete some Waves files that aren't removed during uninstallation or something.
