General Problems - Clean re-install:

Try this:

a) Completely un-install Cakewalk from your computer. This is normally done from Start | Programs | Cakewalk. This will not remove any of your files or audio data.

b) To make sure nothing else is running while reinstalling Cakewalk in step 'e', choose Start | Run and type MSCONFIG. Click OK, choose Selective Startup, then uncheck the Load Startup Group Items box. Click OK, and restart Windows. You can always recheck that box at a later time. Restart your computer.

c) Click the Windows Start button and select Run. At the prompt type REGEDIT and click OK.

Backup your Registry before making edits - you do this by clicking the Registry menu, Export Registry File.

Now delete the following Registry keys

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software

Please note that this will remove any effects presets and key bindings you may have made in Cakewalk. You can back up those registry keys separately if you like.

d) Delete the files AUD.INI and TTSSEQ.INI from the Cakewalk program folder.

e) Restart your computer, then reinstall Cakewalk.
