Are you experiencing the EFFECTS PREVIEW "LOCKUP" PROBLEM? Please Read!

Question

Hello Everyone,
After continued investigation by several members of our engineering team for the past few months we have found that the Effects Preview lock-up is caused by an altered version of the Audition executable file. If you have replaced the original Audition.exe which was installed by the Audition installer (including the trial version) you will experience this side-effect. We have verified that this bug does not exist with the released version of Audition and will only occur in cases where the user has replaced the Audition.exe with this altered version.
To resolve this issue we suggest that you delete this altered Audition.exe file and replace it with the original. If this is unsuccessful we advise you to uninstall Audition and re-install with an Adobe issued serial number.
If you continue to have problems please send an email to [email protected] with an explanation of the problem, your serial number, and a copy of your Audition system information report which can be found by going to Help > About and clicking the System Info. button.

I posted this in another topic, so I thought would paste it here as well.
Okay I feel I must share this with you folks even though the whole thing was an error on my part, so anyway we have by now all heard of the AA3 vst freeze problem, well last night I wiped my HD clean and did a whole new install, because I am using an AA3 upgrade from AA 1.5 I have to install both apps, so I did this last night and reinstalled both apps, and again I got the VST freeze, but the bug wasn't in AA3 something happened with 1.5, so I reinstalled 1.5 and then ran the repair wizard on 3 and I cannot get the VST freeze no matter how hard I try, when ever I went through the motions of reinstalling 3 on various comps, I never bothered to uninstall and reinstall 1.5, I realize this is more of a major user error (namely me)
but it works now! I think that perhaps for those of us using upgrades from 1.5 something down the road broke and it effected AA3 maybe a windows update or something, but man it feels good to have it up and running, Long live AA, anyway I would be curious as to how many people this is happening to are using upgrades as well. Anyway if you want more info on what I did, just ask.
Hope this helps
Peace
and to those I may have given attitude to, well the weight is lifted and I can now apologize
UPDATE, not only did this clear up my VST freeze, but also a list of other minor issues, such as disappearing presets, Sound Lag when sweeping an EQ, Compressor pops, extra long load times, clicks when recording, multi track editing issues, my total re-install solved a long list of things,
hope this helps
