antares autotune shuts down lmms

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
i recently purchased antares autotune for voice fx. i want lmms to run as its host but everytime i run the vst it shuts lmms down. i really want to get a cd out and i dont get why it shuts down when i try to open the autotune vst. i have programmed a few samples with autotune and have saved the work but when i restart up lmms and try to go into the autotune interface it shuts down. when i first open up the file it will playback with the autotuned effect, but even if i try to export it as a file and put it back into lmms as a ogg or wav file it loses the autotuned effect, its starting to frustrate me and i spent a lot on the antares program. please help i really want this to work!
I have a similar problem with the freeware alternative to AutoTune, Gsnap. Whenever I load it, I get an error message that says "Runtime has requested to terminate this application in an unusual way." and then LMMS crashes.
Computers are rising up against autotune .... this is a good thing in my books. lol
Maybe your computer just doesn't have enough RAM?
