No no no...I have about 8 VST's running at the same time amongst other stuff, midis mp3's and the like.
Sometimes I get impatient and if a function doesn't immediately engage I keep pressing the button or just change my mind and go to another button for another task..

This action I think did the damage the other day. I was just too quick to blame someone else instead of me

Same as windows on my laptop.. I can freeze that pretty good too

The OTHER bootup problem I think I have answered well enough above. As has Fran.
