Having trouble with with playing midi in ableton

Hey, I believe this is a sync issue although the error message does not always show at the time this happens. I have my TI desktop connected via usb with virus control open in ableton live 8. Even if I just use one part on one midi channel I am having issues when I stop and start ableton. For instance I will set up a melody in midi and send it to the virus and it will play as intended. But then, I will stop ableton to edit a drum groove or something and when I start to listen to my project again, the midi file I set up for the melody has a different groove and timing. Sometimes when I stop and start the whole ableton project and not just the clips it will go back to normal but not always, any help with this, am I the only one?

I had a feeling I was not going to be alone. I do sometimes get luck by stopping at the transport bar but like you said, not always. It can really drive you nuts when you are playing a lot of midi files and you are not sure what is not causing the timing issues

i bought a new USB port/card thing cause I thought it was the power feed to the virus, but that doesnt help either. I seriously reconsider of giving in my Virus again, cause I dont feel like changing OS, if it is OS related

Have you followed all advises in the how to's? made sure you are using ASIO? set the buffersize between 128 and 512?
Have you contacted support? Can you give a detailed way to reproduce your problem?

Actually, Ableton Live and Virus TI are pretty much tight together.

Hey Timo, thanks for your reply. I have the buffer size set at 512. Should I lower this? The best way to describe the problem is that it will play the same midi file one way, and then if I stop my project and press play again, the same midi file will play a totally different groove, without touching or editing the midi file.

Quoted from "Timo"

Have you followed all advises in the how to's? Yes of course
made sure you are using ASIO? Yes Core audio
set the buffersize between 128 and 512? yes set to 128, 256, 512 the problem is ther same with all settings
Have you contacted support? yes but the support think i'm not in the right way to use the virus ....
Can you give a detailed way to reproduce access your problem?yes it's easy, work to make a track in ableton and use in the same time analog (and SPDIF) out and USB out, if you launch many times the song in different place not from the begening, we can see after 20 minutes, the virus are not sync in tempo and to resync it we must push many times and the virus is in synch for 5 minutes.
you can make a simple test try to records a parts of the virus that out is analog and make many times the same records you can see the parts was not records at the same place every times ( make a loop and records form the begening of the loop, and relaunch ht erecords from the middle of the loop )
you can see the virus is not sync in tempo more of 15 minutes if you launch the song from anywhere on the transport bar.
to resync the virus you must restart the computer and it restarted for 15 minutes.
i transfer a Set of ableton to the support but the support tell me, he can't launch my virus set...
