1. got reaper x64, worked fine.
2. got saffire 6, worked fine.
3. loaded reaper x32 to access dx vsts.
4. when setting computer to hibernate and resuming windows, saffire 6 would not work; had to physically disconnect/reconnect usb. then it worked.
5. tried to remove x32 (since I didn't really need the dx's anymore)
6. somewhere in item 4 and 5, hibernate/resume caused bluescreen crash.
7. tried removing all reaper and saffire software and drivers.
8. my laptop still crashes when resuming from hibernate.
yeah, I could skip hibernate, but it bothers me that the computer isn't working properly. BTW, this morning, reaper x64 locked up and would not reload--it got stuck in the reading vst window. I'm concerned that whatever is wrong is getting worse......
I think maybe I need to find out how to really remove all of the reaper and saffire components and start over. windows 7 seems to be not removing the components and hence the continued issues.
hope someone can assist
