[quote user="Alan C."] [quote user="smyers63"] Has this problem going back through multiple MC versions been on the same computer or has this happened with other computers? Has it happened on different versions of Windows? [/quote] This is a brand new computer Scott. It has no history, purchased specifically as an editing workstation

I won't say it isn't the video card or graphics drivers but in my own experience those are rarely the real issue when only one piece of software has problems. Have you noticed any issues at all with other software or with the computer in general? Has this problem going back through multiple MC versions been on the same computer or has this happened

There were a few possible solutions posted among the 4 pages of this thread. Since this is the Media Composer (video) forum, you probably won't find anything specific to Sibelius. I think if the earlier posts in this thread haven't helped you, the Sibelius forum would be the next place to ask. https://www.avid.com/avid-communities

Alan, I've been thinking more about what might fix your trouble and I have a couple of ideas. If you have not been extracting the installer packages for the past few years to the root of your C: drive (not inside any folder), you should do that.

Alan, If your memory usage stayed around 50% through that, it doesn't seem to me there's a problem there. I thought we might see 80-90% usage. Some other thoughts have come to mind related to things that have happened on one of my MC systems with certain MC versions over the past few months. I'll be a little vague for a moment but I'll

Stay on the Processes tab and sort on the Memory column (high to low) like in my screenshot. You can simply switch to the Task Manager tab to see what's happening for a while after changing workspaces. MC doesn't have to be the foreground app and you may be able to have MC visible but not maximized so you can see the task manager at the same

One thing I wonder right away is whether even the 32GB of RAM shown in your system specs is enough for MC 2021. Since V8, MC has been using more and more memory. Programs that request more memory but don't have it available often crash. A suggestion is to open Task Manager before you open MC and watch the memory usage. Then, switch workspaces while
