[Solved] Can't open master.ins?

I just installed on a new little laptop that has win7 premium and all is well except I get the message cannot open master.ins. No instrument definitions will be available.

I searched and master.ins and all the related files are installed in a folder called cakewalk content (win7 pro installed them in application data)...

Any ideas what's causing this or how to repair? I could use the help if anyone knows...

Much thanks...
Keni

    To re-personalize hold the SHIFT key while starting SONAR. This will add missing files to the user directory.

    That fixed it... I'll have to remember that one for the future...

    There is a more powerful version too, holding CTRL and SHIFT while starting SONAR will overwrite the files in the user directory and reset some registry settings back to factory defaults.
