Re: Help me, this sucks...

It COULD be a memory issue, but since Windows manages mememory, it
would come up in any program that happens to use that space, so I
doubt it.
It COULD be a hardware issue, but that's hightly unusual.
More likely it is a driver issue. Try to uninstall the sound card's
drivers and install the newest non-beta release. If that doesn't
help, try to uninstall and reinstall the software you are using. There
could just be a compatability issue between that software and
hardware, but these are usually resolved via driver updates. Contact
the software and hardware manufacturer if these steps don't resolve
the issue. It could also be an issue of the two programs
communicating, but generally plug-ins are designed to be universally
compatible based on format, or install specifically in a limited list
of software packages that they are designed for.

PS. This is assuming that you meat the software's minimum
requirements.
