Controller/Surface DLL Error

[John Roynon]

I have a query.

I have recently removed a Novation ReMOTE ZeRO control surface which I no longer use.
I have also uninstalled Automap and all related software.

Now, whenever I start Cakewalk, I get a message saying "A controller/surface dll is not installed".
I can close the window and continue working normally but I dont know how to get rid of this message.

It obviously relates to the controller I have removed.
There are no controllers are showing in preferences under Devices or Control Surfaces.

Does anyone know how I get rid of this error message???

Your could try deleting ctrlsurface.dat from %APPDATA%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\  while Cakewalk isn't running, and restart Cakewalk.

Mark I think this was probably the issue. I have installed a new controller which has probably updated that file and problem has gone away
