Sonar VS program

Hello, I posted a thread about the v studio 100 in the hardware forum, but I am also having a problem with the software. "SONAR VS" as it is called on my desktop by default name is having this issue (See picture) when playing the demo song. It displays tracks like so, and will not play them, or move the measure marker at all. 
 
I am running an intel i7, AMD R9 M275, 16 GB Ram, Windows 10, V-studio 100 with 1.50 firmware, an appropriate 1/4 jack speaker with appropriate cable, propper midi keyboard and midi cables. I downloaded and unziped the 1.50 firmware and windows 8.1 version 2.02, but it won't install, and the windows 2.01 software for windows 7, xp, and vista. I appropriately installed the CDs that came with the hardware. 
 
I previously tried recording with my midi keyboard, and it used the sound from my keyboard instead of an instrument from the program, and it was extremely laggy as in some parts would be fast, and others would have excess delay between notes that were played in the exact same way as previous notes. 
 

I would say Sonar VS seems pretty ancient and you should consider updating to something like Platinum, you might get a good price if you contact the cakewalk store.
 
Here are some opinions from way back in 2010:

Thanks..

I have the Yamaha PSR-510, I do not know when it was purchased, and it connects by MIDI to Midi cables into the V-Studio 100 box. It doesn't have USB ports. I personally haven't updated it, I don't know where the manual or anything is for the keyboard. (Using an equally powerful power plug to turn it on.) Also, I just bought this V-studio 100 equipment, last Thursday. I'll contact Cakewalk to see if they can do anything about musicwriting software, but with college coming, I don't know if I can even afford discounted versions.
