iZotope Mastering Bundle after Windows 7 upgrade -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:iZotope Mastering Bundle after Windows 7 upgrade Posted by: NemesisVex Date:3/14/2011 6:04:19 AM Hello. About two weeks ago, I upgraded my system from Windows XP SP3 to Windows 7 (and subsequently SP1 last week.) This past weekend was the first time I've had a chance to run Sound Forge 9 after reinstalling it. Most of my projects require the use of the iZotope Mastering Bundle, but the upgrade has somehow affected it. It takes 2 minutes for any of the plug-ins to be added to the chainer -- I get the spinning blue circle. Opening a file that uses the iZotope plug-ins takes even longer to get started. After it's loaded, I can use the plug-ins fine, but when I save the file, it takes forever again. By contrast, my VST plug-ins load and save normally. I've tried running Sound Forge 9 as an administrator, then running in compatibility mode with Windows XP3. Neither fixed the problem, and in fact, the latter broke the ability of Cakewalk SONAR 8.5 to launch Sound Forge from the Tools menu. I even went so far to download a trial version of Sound Forge 10, but all indications seem to point at the Mastering Bundle itself and Windows 7. Has anyone else experienced a change in performance after such an upgrade? If so, what should I be doing? Thanks.

I recently did the same upgrade and am not seeing this issue. Different AV perhaps? Can you look at Task Manager and see what processes are using a lot of resources?
