I cannot open Live; it keeps giving me a message saying that the last time it closed incorrectly due to a corrupt audio driver. It asks me to change my audio preferences, but the program won't even open. How do I fix this?

You should update the drivers for your audio device. If this does not help, please trash the Live Preferences.cfg file and try again. You will find this file in the following paths:

* Windows (Live 3): (Installation Directory)/Ableton/Preferences
* Windows (Live 4 and 5): C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Application Data\Ableton\Live\Preferences
* Mac OS 9: /System/Preferences/Ableton
* Mac OS X: /User/Library/Preferences/Ableton
