Hello all,
I had all of these same problems. Was in touch with support. The only suggestion that they made was to disable all protection on comp. Coincidence, got a Web virus started on other comp. I will not disable anything again. The tech came back and stated that this was still a early release, and that I might want to wait for the next update to see if that will work. WHAT does demo mode mean anyway, when the software is free. What would demo turn into anyway. At least I now get email from bandlab, and not have to find out on cake forum.
