Sonar Not Working!?

I have Sonar X1 Studio, and I was just using it 5 minutes ago. After saving and closing my current project, I tried to open it again 5 minutes later, it is not opening. I double click the icon, but nothing happens. I am using Windows 7. What can I do to fix this? Thanks

    try opening the project in safe mode..holding down shift while clicking to open your project..try taking one thing off at a time till you find the culprit..its kind of like managing add ons

    Which one is not starting - SONAR or the project?
    You mention double clikcking the icon so I assume it's SONAR, as is the case in the link Rivers attached.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.

    As per the thread Rivers posted the link for, this sounds like you need to stop Sonar with the Task Manager, under Processes.  Happens to me on a fairly regular basis.

    You can write an event driven powershell script to kill SONAR.EXE {if true} in processes if it happens every time.

    Thanks,
