    Running CW Home Studio 2, I'm finding that it takes several attempts
    almost every time I record or playback to get CW to run. Get a couple
    of "dropout/audio stopped" failures. Once it gets going it's fine
    until I hit stop again. This just started occurring, it's worked
    flawlessly up to this point.

    Any suggestions as to what could be causing this?

    Thanks

    Is this the same system it was running flawlessly on? What are the
    system specs?

    Did you try a system restore to an earlier point when the machine was
    working?

    Do you have Windows Update updating itself in the background? I've
    forgotten to turn that off once or twice, and everything works fine
    until it decides to download some enormous patch while you're trying to
    record.

    Other possibilities might be a fragmented HD, shortage of swap space, or
    a failing drive.

    Cheers,
    Martin

    Uninstalled and reinstalled CW, problem cleared up.
