Welcome to the forum.
What OS are you using? Is it 32- or 64-bit? Ensure you have the correct drivers for your OS.
Are you using an audio interface? If so, which one?
What Driver Mode are you using? Press P on the computer keyboard to check that.
Where are you looking to see if it "shows up"?
Have you updated MC 7? I don't know if there are updates, but you can check at the Cakewalk web site.
