Pro Channel issues

Trying to fix my crashes in X3, Cakewalk Tech guys suggested I remove all C++ iterations and reinstall them, which I did. But now my Pro Channel strip is messed up. I get "load failure" text at the bottom of the strip, previously saved projects are missing the U76 comp and when I try to add anything to the strip I get instant crash. I have both the 32 and 64bit installed. The channel strip appears to be normal in 32bit but is messed up on 64 which is the version I prefer to work in. Any ideas?

Yep, resintalled everything, rebooted, still have the same errors...
 

Yep that's the one, the main compressor loaded by default. I downloaded all the installation files from my account from the website.
 

sounds like it's dependent on one of the C++ distros you uninstalled?

Well I have PCS-NukeCM.dll where it's supposed to be. Tried reinstalling again, and am getting permission errors when it's wrapping up. It can't register plugins, i.e. "unable to register DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3." I tried googling that error and tried all the suggested solutions, including some on this forum to no avail. Here we go again, spending hours and hours diagnosing software problems instead of making music......really, really, frustrated and tired of this...

Sorry if this is redundant, but you should install as administrator if you aren't already.
 
I'd then take a look at permission levels on the destination folders, seeing that the installer brought it up.
 
You're not out of disk space ?
 
It looks like your system is confused (to not say corrupted, yet).  Have you ever had Sonar working properly on your system?  If so, which version ?
 

Thanks for the suggestions, yep, ran as administrator, checked permissions, enabled all, plenty of back up space. Weird thing is I've never had these issues during a reinstall before. This is a brand new problem caused by trying to fix other problems, i.e crashes.

I'd still recommend contacting support.

• Did you turn off all anti-virus/malware programs while installing?
• What operating system are you using?
• Did Cake support do a remote desktop operation?
• In what order did you install the 32- and 64-bit versions?
• Did you apply the updates to X3 before or after uninstalling/re-installing the other libraries?
• Has your OS changed since you first installed X3? If you're still running the same OS as when X3 came out, it's probably gotten pretty scrambled...

 
I'd still recommend trying support again. If all else fails, do an incident fix with Obedia.com. There's clearly something wrong and it would seem that worse case, you could be advised how to wipe your system of all traces of both versions of SONAR, then follow the recommended re-install procedure. 
 
It's times like this that removable drives are worth their weight in gold. I tend to think that if you did a clean OS install and then installed SONAR, things would work as desired. The current situations seems like it might be "system dependencies roulette."
 
I generally advise against re-installing SONAR except as a last resort. The only time I've needed to re-install SONAR is when switching over to a new drive. 

I should add that I didn't re-install the 32 version because it's operating normally, unfortunately, some of my vst's only run 64 so I can't really use 32 any more.
