The fakin' frooty makes a shitload of problems
When i make a complicated sound wit alotz of dist, freq filters and such and play aa tune wit alot of delay, the computer goes nuts, wit 100 percent processor working, then i freakin' close fruity and run it again wit a blank file, THE FRIGGIN THING HAS THE SAME PROCESSOR WORKING PERCENTAGE, ii can't make a thing, it juz playz it i slices (slow frames, kinda sound cool, but after a while it really gets on yer nerves)
i set the priority level in task manager to real time and highest and nothing chnages, i shut down all other progz 'cept frooty and da same thin' PLZ HELP ME LIFT THIS FREAKIN CURSE OVER MY COMP, Diiz are my most creative times (before a big test math)
thnx pip

The problem could be indeed several things.
Maybe you do indeed need more RAM
Maybe you need a better soundcard, with ASIO drivers (you can try ASIO4ALL offcourse)
Maybe it's just a bug in FL...
It's not clear, but I'm not sure more memory or a new soundcard will solve the problem.
If it happens again, rightclick your startbar (not the button, the bar) and open the task manager. Go to the processes tab and look what's eating up all your CPU time. Then report back

I ran the fruit for 1/2 a year with a pentium 2, 64 MB ram, soundblastercard, and didn't even have this problem. However, if I loaded a compressor effect... the prog would start to freeze, cracks in the sound...most vsti wouldn't work either.
but if even a blank file wouldn't play correct, you got something miss installed, cause fruity itself uses 1% of your cpu, even with the p2. Try your audio settings, look at the latency and stuff. Also could be a faulty plugin... i got some freebies that sometimes crash the program, but that's just the plugin. Never had much trouble with fruity 
Btw: delay is one of the most cpu intensive plugs (my 'dub' delays anyway 
), some distortion units too (an izotope 'trash' uses 50% of your cpu). So try an bounce some sounds, and save cpu. Try and click 'smart disable' in the fruity mixer menu, which freezes plugins and saves cpu when the plugs aren't playing.
hope this helps.

Had that same problem for the first time yesterday, probly because of a lot of synth plugins. But the smart disable seems to work very well.

yeah, you can, if you quit using all those Z's.
an upgrade in memory is super recommended. at least 256mb (add 128mb to your current setup)
700mhz is damn slow, however, for fruity's plugins you should be fine (i ran off an 800mhz forever)
but once you start loading tons of sounds on there, fruity and your computer have to keep track of ALL of them ALL the time. so more memory would probably help out.
also, if your soundcard is crappy onboard or something, go pick up and install a Sound Blaster card for like $20 for a quick fix. onboard audio cards tend not to worry about processing tons of channels (which is required by fruity and lots else, all the sounds + effects, etc.)
hope that helped.

Awtch! No, Sound Blaster isn't much good. If money really is an issue, you could go for it, but you'd better spend some money on a decent card (RME, M-Audio, Terratec...)

you can get an Audigy for $16 nowadays.
www.pricewatch.com
dude theres really no point in getting a professional sound card and not using it. i dont have all kinds of pro hardware to hook up or anything, so my audigy2 (that i use mainly for gaming) is fookin fiiiine.

It's not about pro stuff I'm talking here, just DECENT stuff. With kinda flat frequency responce curves, low noise ratios and stuff like that. Stuff that is important if you want to get your sound right.
I'm not saying you can't do that on and Audigy, it's just not a good card so it will be harder to get it right...

just bounce out loops with the fx's you want and bring them in on a sampler or drop the down on the wav palette(if your running fl studio).
you wont have much flexibility but the cpu usage should stay down so you can complete some tracks.
you really dont want to add a ton of effects. try to create the sounds you want with synthezieser manipulation, you will get a much cleaner sound and you will run into less problems during your mixdowns.
hope this helps.
peace

Once you've bought fruity, all updates are free, so u could try that, but for most programs newer versions use more resources. U could also export your effected samples, and sounds made with synths or other plugins and import them as waves as marisol said. Have u tried changing the buffer size? That might give ur cpu some more time to breathe.

Go to the Mixer, then select the menu button, and choose SMART DISABLE FOR ALL. This will disable (in real time) and enable (also in real time) the Mixer channels that are not in use at the moment and will save you about 40% CPU power.
Also, you can select smart disable on every effect from its dropdown list for a separate handling of it.
And, go to Options -> Audio Settings -> DirectSound streaming buffer and set it to higher value. Also, check USE HARDWARE BUFFER to use the sound card for sound processing.
+ set the Sample Rate (on the right side) to 22 050 hZ. It will cut the resource usage to 50%.

"However, keep in mind that some VST plugins might not report their properties correctly and trying to automate them might lead to crashes."
It seems FL crashes when plugins are not from FL itself.

not true you need to get all aftermarket vsts in a stienberg folder in the progams folder on the c drive not d drive. if you still run into problems put the problem DLL file into the plugins folder within fruity itself.
