Bill, I downloaded RegCleaner and I couldn't decide to eliminate any of the items in the registry. I don't know what to do with it. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Cakewalk.

I have a week to solve this. If I don't I will be doing a job with different software. Power Tracks may finally make the starting lineup.

Remember, when I installed Home Studio 9 I had the same problems. The frustrating thing is that to my knowledge nothing has changed with my sound set up to cause this problem. The only other music type activity is ripping CDs to my mp3 player, and that's working fine too.
