That's a good option, but unless you are using 2 separate systems, it limits
reason's usability, don't you think?
I mean say you want to use it with sonar on a project, unless you've got the
hardware going, it won't work on the same computer.
That's the choice I would make though, if I decide to mess around with it
again, probably install it on a spare computer with xp, and network it to my
farm using midi over lan or just dedicating my oxygen to it for the time
being, and using my delta1010 to send either a digital signal or a few
analog lines to my pro40. I can then somewhat controll it from sonar (I
might need a kvm switch to load patches and such, but no biggy).

Subject: [realmusicians] Solving Reason's Code Meter Problem, maybe?
I'm beginning to realize how serious a threat Code Meter could be to the
health of computers with screenreaders, especially on Windows 7 64; with our
fragile Wineyes 7.5x.
I had a lockup on my brand new zingy fast machine, with very little on it
except Reaper 64, Sonar X1 demo, and Reason 6.
It froze so totally I had to shut down with the power button.
It's back up, but I can tell it's way slower now, and was damaged by the
crash.
I had to restore back to the day I opened the box and set up the machine.
It doesn't matter to me that the new machine seems slower now; I'm not going
to keep the Windows 7 on it anyway, I'll do a clean install of XP Pro, but I
now think even a single hard drive caddy, or docking station, is a good
idea, and I want a hard drive with nothing but the screenreader and Reason 6
on it.
I'll partition it, with another partition for data, and try to devise some
way to isolate Winize somewhat from Reason 6 if such a thing is possible.
There's obviously no way round that Code Meter, so I'll try to live with it,
but on its own hard drive, so it doesn't harm Sonar, Reaper and other
things.
The developer's license I got from PropellerHeads was so I could look into
Reaper 6, in hopes of accessing it for blind musicians.
I have to tell the truth about what I learn about Reason 6, that running it
might come with problems from Code Meter.
I don't know yet, maybe Code Meter won't harm NVDA, Jaws or System Access,
and maybe there are ways to make WindowEyes tolerate it as well.
Reason 6 on XP, with WindowEyes 6.1 didn't freeze up, so maybe that's my
solution, but I still want it on its own hard drive, just in case .
