Zitat von Marc

sorry, this is just wrong. there were no changes. if a virus gets stuck at the welcome screen something went wrong updating it (or the unit has a hardware problem which is unrelated to the OS version installed). try to boot it holding the EXIT key so you boot into the BIOS mode. then use Virus Control Center to update it again. if you cannot manage, contact support.

hth, marc

Something on the software side of things changed.

By replacing the motherboard battery it solved the issue of the virus getting stuck after the DC power had been removed and after the version 4.X.X.XXX update.
I know now that my battery was dead from day 1 as it never saved and user made patches..

I now know that my TI eats batteries in less than a few months, which is prob why it was dead from the start.

Has this come up since?

good to know, would you mind mention this where appropriate, i think you've posted something about your virus being stuck at startup elsewhere. as for the battery: they are only guaranteed to run for a few years (3 i think), in most cases they run for more but i wouldn't always count on it.

best, marc

Ok no probs.

my virus has never saved patches - i just thought it was the norm.

It seems some coding changed in version 4.0.5.01 that meant the motherboard battery is critical to the boot sequence once the AC power has been disconnected and reconnected.

I don't know if it is just my virus that is affected but if your virus is getting stuck at the welcome screen too then it is worth checking the motherboard battery.

I found OS 4.0.2.01(beta) to be able to boot after the power was cut even though my battery was dead.

Hope this helps people in the future.

Finally sorted!!!

The problem was the battery on the motherboard. which explains why it was OK until i cut the ac power.

My virus works on all Operating Systems up to and including 4.0.2.01. After this it gets stuck at the welcome screen if the AC power is cut.

This is worth taking note of as there is a possibility at some point there will be lots of virus ti's around with dead batteries and they will all be getting stuck at the welcome screen!!

I hope this helps anyone in the future.

battery swapped. all done thanks Marc. if only i had thought of that a few years back when i bought the thing!! must have been a dud battery from the start!

as I had hoped - this has solved my bigger issue of the virus getting stuck at the welcome screen.

thanks again

my virus is well out of warranty so i don't mind opening it up. is it something that can be easily replaced?

hope you like it

just for reference - i emailed the guy who started this thread and he confirmed he had to replace the motherboard on the TI to solve the issue.

I make a patch and save it in the Ram section, then when the virus's AC power is cut all of the patches dissapear. Is this normal?

i think this is the same problem someone else was having...

check page 2 of the beta feedback thread

or try load vc on instrument panel before loading the project...

this works for me to. any ideas why?

yeah, I need to speak to someone who programs the OS and see what they say.

I agree - it's not hardware.

do you know if the OS updates include a Bios update?

I'm wondering if the Bios is corrupt? or incompatible with OS4. I've have had the Virus over 5 years.

I'm not sure if the Bios has anything to do with the TI startup procedure?

have tried resetting to default. I have tried all sorts. The only thing i've found that has an effect is getting back on to OS3

another thing to try is delete all of the tracks in the project... then ctrl-z them all back.

i was finding that it wanted all of the tracks gone before it would let the vst work properly

sorry - just read you are using cubase... hopefully this work around will work for you too.

i'd like to know a fix if anybody does!

what daw are you using?

it happens to me in cubase. i spent a long time trying to trouble shoot this. i think it was introduced with software version 4. the only time it completely went away was when i did a reformat of my hd.

try this.....

open your daw. create a new project & add the ti as an instrument. it should load fine. now close that project and open the project you want to work on.

this works for me. let me know how you get on.

yes. no different.

it seems strange that its just with version 4 of the software.. and it doesn't seem like a widespread problem.

as i said before it only occurs after the ac power has been cut. so maybe not everyone has been in this situation?

just to update:

after downgrading to version 3 i then tried installing the latest beta...

this worked fine. until the ac power is cut. then after powering up again i get stuck at the welcome screen

i've just downgraded to 3.3.4.00 and it works as normal.

it seems my virus doesn't like version 4 of the software?

did this ever get solved?
