cant run vst scan

[backwoods]

the buttons to run vst scan are dimmed in preferences window. any one else had this problem? tried running as administrator even

overall- horrible installation. think I made a huge ,mistake when program asked me if I wanted to import settings and gave me a list of previous sonar installs. I just double clicked the top one and now ieverything is pointed towards steam apps (x86) for a version i installed about a decade ago and never used.

I'm not a fan of uninstall, but maybe. Trouble is uninstall never digs down into the registry and so might not solve anything.

ABBOTT!  Whoops, @Noel Borthwick

I suggest using Revo Uninstaller to uninstall programs. It can also delete the related registry components. I've been using the free version for years and never had any problems with it or its functions.

Are you running or did you run CbB or Sonar or one of the others as Administrator?

Or you could simply do a clean install which will remove the relevant registry entries

Thanks for that Jonesey. i think this is the way to go

edit: it worked! i only cleared the first three things. I have to re enter my hotkeys but that's all good. Sonar looks great!
