Disappearing VST GUI ... Virus TI.

[AndrewM]

Hey everyone.

Really getting tired of my GUI of my TI VSTi disappearing on me half way through a project. I wanted to know if anyone else was having a problem like this... so, we can submit to this to Access to get it fixed. I believe it started happening after the OS V4 updates.

Pretty much what happens is ... I'm working on a song, and probably three days after doing a lot of work, my GUI becomes unobtainable. It's just a blank GUI that captures whatever is underneath it. This, therefor, leaves me unable to edit my Virus unless I want to dig into the menu's of my 'Snow' ... and that's not fun, and defeats the purpose of having Total Integration!

I added a screenshot in case my description of my problem was hard to understand.

System specs:

PC
Core2Dou Laptop
Two Gigs Ram
Windows XP SP3
Cubase 6.02 (happened in version 5 as well)
Virus TI Snow w/ 4.5 PB OS

Oh yes... And the ONLY time Cubase 6 has crashed on me was violation codes with the Virus Plugin. Here is the crash log...
