Crashes on startup-Solved

[christian.landstrom]

When I try to start Cakewalk I can se the "Cakewalk by Bandlab* picture. It disappears and then nothing.

I've tried to run as administrator, restart the machine but still not working.

Cakewalk worked fine yesterday, only thing I can think of is that I moved Cakewalk content from disc e:\ to c:\  and changed path in the program. 

Tried to install latest patch once more and copy Cakewalk content to e:\ and still not working?

Edit: Tried to unistall and reinstall Cakewalk using the advanced option and noticed it's not possible to change path cakewalk core from E:\? Still not working by the way. 

I also have Studio one and Notion6 installed and both of those start up without a problem.

Please follow this thread. If its crashing on startup most likely your VC redists are somehow out of date.

Thank you! Will try to install the VC and hopefully that works, fingers crossed! ?

Installed the VC and uninstallled and reinstalled Cakewalk, did a reboot, Still not working same result?

Edit: I still have Sonar X2 and Sonar Platinum installed. Sonar X2 started but not Sonar Platinum and as I said can't start cakewalk by Bandlab. I tried to start with shift+clicking the icon. The program says "Cakewalk will now perzonalize your user settings..." and the crashes.

By the way, sorry if my english is a little off, not my mother tongue. (I'm from Sweden).

I'm starting to think I need to reinstall all Cakewalk related from X1 and forward as I wnat to keep the plugins from each revision.  Rather not, as it is a real pain. All I wanted to do today was edit some drums not troubleshoot Cakewalk...

[christian.landstrom]

Finally found the problem, Sonic studio virtual mixer, comes with Asus mothercard. Uninstalled the device in in the device manager, now I just have to get rid of it permanentely. 

Never used Sonic studio virtual mixer anyway.

Oh wow, is that something you installed recently? Most likely it installed something that gets enumerated on startup of CbB and crashes.
So many things that can screw up a machine!

It's been there for a while, a year maybe, never caused any problems until today. 

Solved it by trying to open my latest project directly from the ´cwp-file and saw somtething flimmering by.  It crashed, so I tried again and this time I took a print screen which I pasted into MS paint. Saw that it tried to load the driver so I disabled it and voila! Editing drums now and is a happy camper ?

It seems the setup for cakewalk is very connection sensitive. The moment it faces the slightest network trouble, it shows an error message and then it has to start right from the beginning again. It's been making me waste my data subscription. Anything I can do?

You really ought to start your own thread instead of hijacking a dead one that is over 2 years old.

My daw is completely offline and I have no issues, your presumption is wrong.

Do you mean Bandlab for cell phones? Or Cakewalk by Bandlab for computers?
