Ok for some reason my producer preview keeps jacking up. It just cuts off for no reason. My computer isn't running hot I don't know what the problem is with it. If you have any information please help me out I have been trying this forever and just don't understand why I keep having to restart over and over. My computer is a dual processor system with plenty of speed. If you can help me out I would very much appreciate it. Duck
