Sonar VS will not setup with V-Studio 100 on Windows 7 correctly

I want to use the Sonar VS software with the V-Studio 100, but I can't get the MIDI devices Inputs and Outputs devices to stay selected in the Options -> Midi Devices window. I have the latest driver installed as well as the latest control surface plugin available installed for Windows 7 64 bit system. Here is what happens. When I open up this setup window, check the 4 boxes for MIDI/CONTROL V-100 for the inputs and outputs, then click on OK, they don't stay selected. If I do it again, they are cleared. As a result, when select Options -> Controller Surfaces, click + to add in the VS-100, it appears in the list, but when I click on the slot for Input and for Output, there is only "none" to choose from. As a result I can't get the V-Studio 100 to work with VS on Windows 7. I was able to get this to work right on Windows Vista on another computer I don't want to use, but not on Windows 7 with the latest driver and control surface plug-in.
 
Roland support could not find a solution for me and Cakewalk could not either (they did not make the driver, but made the software). I think it is a software problem, as the names of the inputs and outputs appear to select. I want to use this because it is much simpler than Sonar x2 that I have not learned yet.
 
If anyone has had the same problem, please let me know what I need to do. I start VS in admin mode and it does not matter.
 
Thanks.

    Sorry to hear of your troubles.

    I didn't install the VStudio software because I already had X2 so I may not be much help but was wondering if the VS-100 midi settings work correctly under X2?

    I know it's not the software you want to use but I'm just trying to narrow down where the problem may be.

    Do you have other midi devices on the system?

    I might reinstall the driver just to be sure



    Good luck,

    Matt

    Are you starting Sonar VS as an Administrator in Windows 7?
    • To test: Right click the Sonar VS icon, and choose "Run as Administrator".
    • To do all the time: Right click the icon, choose properties > compatibility > check box "run as administrator" and apply the changes.
    I never had Vista so don't know how that worked, but XP always ran software at the highest level so it was never an issue. Anything important in Windows 7, I set to run as admin.
     
    Not sure if it will help or not, but it's an easy try ...

    This happens in Win 8.1.  I always right click the X3 icon and choose run as admin. 
     
    As far as the problem with the VS Sonar:  I have never installed it.  However, in Windows 8.1 and Sonar X3, there is no problem selecting the MIDI ports and having it stick.  The V Studio 100 runs great in Win 8.1 and Sonar X3.

    Win 10 Pro x64, 32Gb DDR3 ram, Sonar Platinum, Cubase 9.5, Mackie MCU Pro, Cakewalk VS 100, Roland Octa-Capture,  A 800 Pro, Carver M-1.5t amp & C4000 pre amp, various mics, drums and brass instruments.
     
    And away we go!
