OK guys, I have one more question. What about OTHER configuration settings in Cakewalk. I have 4-5 other besides AUD:

cakewalk - CW9AudDX - TTSSEQ - waveprof

There is a midi in/out activity monitor on the bottom toolbar. It doesn't close when Task Manager closes Cakewalk. I have to reopen CWPA or open a midi in Media Player or something like that for it to close. This is why I suspect a value in a config setting - it only applies to Cakewalk, not any other program that plays midi. If you want to continue this thru email, please do.
