HELP!!!! My DAW is in bad trouble
Hello all
My DAW is crashing and Im attempting to shore up long enough to pull the important stuff of the hard drive.
Believe it or not Im still I was still using an old Dell Dimension 4600. Windows XPS2 OS. Duel Pentium 4 processors 2.9Gb each/ 800khs @ buss. With 512MB of RAM x2.
Sonar 6 PE, with ECHO's MIA, and LAYLA on the front end.
As of now my keyboard is un operational. The BIOS is reporting a change in memory. And the device manager is not populating.
I have been able to boot with the disc drive first in order using the XP disc. Ive also opened Sonar successfully. But nothing beyond that.
I have been able to open an occasional file in Sonar but cant do anything with it. Literally nothing.
So far my best conceived plan is to reinstall the OS and necessary drivers.
Will that even work?
I know that this is stuff probably best dealt with by the people at Dell, and Microsoft. But I also know that there are lots of you hear just as capable. And quite honestly timely'er with response.
So any and all help would be so greatly appreciated guys.
Thanks a bunch,

p.s. I will be posting this thread in several spots in the Cake forums. So I apologize in advance. ; )
