SOLVED: Project 5 dies while initializing device chain
As it turns out, it doesn't appear that there was any issue with Project and Sonar. I compared my DAW current registry with a back-up registry from two weeks ago and found that some of the vst entries in the vst inventory hive and found that somehow (I suspect the crash) had bodgered-up several of the keys there. A quick restore and I'm back in business on Project 5 2.5.1! Should have done this registry compare this weekend...oh well, hindsight and all.

After a Project crash this weekend where I experienced a test tone-like howl from the system, I rebooted and now Project 5.2.1 repeatedly crashes after scanning vst's. The splash screen shows "Initializing Device Chain" and then the app crashes. So far I've tried:
1) Starting the app with shift depressed to re-personalize
2) Deleting P5Aud.ini and Project5.ini
3) Uninstalling and reinstalling Project from DVD then applying the updates and the 2.5.1 upgrade
4) Reinstalling my M-Audio 410 drivers
5) Uninstalling and reinstalling Project from DVD then applying the updates and the 2.5.1 upgrade after reinstalling 410 drivers
Sonar is working fine - no issues there with the audio interface, but Project is severely unhappy.
Thus far my troubleshooting efforts have brought no joy.... I have recently upgraded to Sonar PE 7.0.1, but Project was working fine after upgrading Sonar until the first crash. My system is a 3.4 GHz P4 running Win XPSP2 with 2 GB RAM. Any suggestions?
