RE: HELP!!!!! ES2 is severely screwed!
Cheers K! Thanks for your response. I'll give that IBM tool a go.
However, you say that Windows 2000 will start loading the ES2 from Cache. Will it do this when I load the ES2 for the FIRST time after booting up the PC (with what should be a clean cache)? If this is the case, then I think we could be close to finding the source of the problem, as the ES2 sounds like crap ALL THE TIME, even after rebooting. Everytime Windows 2000 loads, I get four error and warning messages in the event list. These are as follows:

Should I have write cache disabled? And could the corrupt page file be responsible for the problems that I am experiencing with the ES2? The one thing that I don't understand though, is why is it only the ES2 that is messing up, and not any of the other Emagic ES synths?
Thank you sooooo much for your help!
Steve.
