Thanks for all the input. Youtube works for some things but this forum is the tops for help. Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum. This is what I was able to do to reinstall my corrupt Cakewalk BandLab: Instructions to get a Clean install Of Cakewalk BandLab Run all Cakewalk uninstallers. This is normally done by utilizing the Add/Remove programs tool from the Control Panel. BandLab Assistant and the previous Cakewalk Command Center also have uninstall options within their respective programs. 1. After the uninstall process is complete, open the Run Prompt. In Windows 7, 8, and 10, this can be done by holding down the “Windows” key and pressing “R” on the keyboard. 2. At the prompt, type regedit and click [OK]. 3. Click [Yes] if asked to allow the program to make changes to your computer. *Important: When you access the Registry Editor, create a backup by going to File > Export. In the Export Registry File window that comes up, make sure “Export range” is set to “All” and that “Save as type” is set to “Registration Files (*.reg)”. It is very important to create a backup of your registry because if you accidentally delete a registry key there is no undo function. You can, however, double-click on the Registry backup you made above to re-import your registry keys if you make any mistakes. You must re-import your backup (if needed) before restarting your computer. 4. Delete the following Registry keys. If you do not have one of the Registry keys below, simply proceed to the next one on the list. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cakewalk Music Software HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Cakewalk Music Software 5. Open the Run Prompt again. 6. Copy and paste %appdata% into the prompt and click [OK]. On Windows 7, 8, and 10, the “AppData\Roaming” folder will open. 7. Right-click on the Cakewalk folder and select Delete. 8. Open the following directories and delete their contents: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk and C:\Program Files(x86)\Cakewalk 9. At this point, you can reinstall your Cakewalk software.

My C:\ programFiles\Cakewalk contains :Shared Utilities Studio Instruments ? and VST plugins In c:\Cakewalk Content I have:Cakewalk Themes,Demo Projects,Drum replacer. Cakewalk Projects: There is no folder named Cakewalk Projects Program data cakewalk: Studio Instruments and uninstallers folder. Inside the folder are uninstall exe.s for the addons but no uninstall for Cakewalk.

I have done several reinstalls,free space on my HD is 1/2 gb There are only two folders in my C program files under Cakewalk one is VST I cant remember what the other it was called. It seems to me that Cakewalk Is in a different location? The windows defender controlled was disabled.

At this point I've found nothing that will allow me unistall Cakewalk BandLab. I've tried all the youtube videos.. Attached is the error I get when I try to do anything with Cakewalk. I'm going to try the Start Run rstrui. I want to say thank you to all the suggestions that have been given.

Now I've gone an done it. Windows 10 crashed. I cannot uninstall Cakewalk BandLab because it will not show up in the uninstall control panel. Any ideas on how I can uninstall this? I have tried to reinstall but it says I'm missing some files so it cannot proceed with the install.

Thanks Alot

When I download a plug in most of the time all I get is the .dll file. I've tried to put the .dll file in my vst2,vst3, commons folder but the plug in will not work. A little help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your responses

What would be a good low cost USB audio interface to get me started recording with Cakewalk. Something in the $50 range but any suggestions will be appreciated.
