New installation won't open - Wave profiler

[Jimmy Harris]

Hi,

New user here on a clean install of a windows 11 PC with a standard motherboard sound card

I downloaded Cakewalk and opened it and it initially worked fine, but I tried experimenting with the Driver Mode to see if I could get the latency from my midi keyboard down and switched it to WDM/KS and now when I try and open CW, the wave profiler runs behind the splash screen, disappears and then so does the splash screen. As CW won't open, I can't change the audio driver to whatever it was before and I can't see where this is set in any .ini file

I've tried an uninstall and reinstall and that doesn't fix it. Any pointers to look at please ?

Thanks,

Jimmy

I haven't tried this but try deleting your "aud.ini" file and see if that helps.

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I should have said that I tried that and it made no difference. Also tried holding control key whilst opening and that didn't help either.......
