    I have been using BAE on my laptop for several months without an issue, and decided to download the trial for Breakaway Live a couple of days ago.

    The toolbar for BAE works just fine, but when I shut BAE down and start up Breakaway Live, I lose the toolbar.

    If I right-click at the bottom of the screen to bring up the Toolbar menu, "Breakaway" is offered. If I check it, I can see the little vertical divider appear on the toolbar to the left of the system tray as though it’s making room, but nothing appears. I can even re-size the "empty" section where the toolbar should be. Unchecking it removes the divider.

    I’m also experiencing a CPU spike lasting anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds which causes everything on the machine to freeze if I’m working with Breakaway Live – anything from opening the I/O window (beyond the short delay it takes to shut down to allow access, I mean) to the speaker controller or EQ windows to simply mousing over presets or changing any of the sliders.

    Process Explorer indicates the spikes are Breakaway Live related.

    I’m running Windows 7 Home 64-bit on an Acer Timeline notebook with an Intel Core 2 Solo (1.40Ghz) and 4GB of RAM.

    Any thoughts from the braintrust on either issue? Thanks in advance!

    Perhaps, the two apps don’t work well together and you may need to uninstall BAE?

    Make sure you are running the latest version of Live (http://www.claessonedwards.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1010) as there was a problem with the older version and reading/writing the settings file.

    I run the two 24/7 🙂 no problems.

    The other reply above mine about using the latest Live because it fixes the problem of the settings saved lag (Windows’ fault), yeah… I agree, sounds like that’s one possible explanation of it.

    Thanks Dr. J, thanks Jesse.

    I’ve downloaded the Live version from the thread referenced here and will try that tonight. Perhaps that will also restore the toolbar?

    Among all of the nice new presets I see in Live, one of my two favorites seems to be absent… Maginfying Glass. My low-level, casual, background listening is done through a Logitech Audio Hub which can be made to sound amazing with that preset. Would I get it back by inserting the "restore obsolete" line to the .ini file?

    Who authored Magnifying Glass, out of curiosity?

    99% sure that was Leif.

    and yes @ your INI question.
