Thanks David. I wasn't talking to you but I bet you feel important now, huh? Good for you.

With all due respect, I only want a product that works...period. I don't have time for technical explanations and after so many attempts of trying to make things work I finally just reinstalled Windows and I'm not going to install Sonar or Cakewalk until and unless Band Labs can make it work...period. I'm a (potential) customer of Band Labs and a musician, not a technician and I don't want to be a technician. If I have to be a tech, I'll move on to a different platform regardless of cost and be a tech long enough to learn that platform so that I can be a musician again. It won't take long. Other DAW's (or at least one other...) do work as they're supposed to upon installation. I hope BL fixes this as I have used Cakewalk and the Sonar before it for years and I truly would LOVE for all of this to be the #1 platform in computer recording but at this point I'm just not confident I won't end up burning more time in left brain hell than investing more time in right brain creativity.

Same here. Cakewalk opened one day, the next day when trying to open CWbBL, "Windows has encountered a problem" message comes up while Cakwalk mast head hangs and only option is to shut it down. I did do a windows update the day before yesterday but ran CWBBL after with no issues. Uninstalled, reinstalled, COMPLETE uninstall, clean install...same problem. I also installed a legacy version of Sonar Professional from the old Control Center and it runs fine albeit without the quality of the newer CWBBL. Bandlabs wants me to pay for this? I also downloaded and installed/tried to run Cakewalk Product Center and it won't even run.
