I hope someone can help me or I've lost hours of work!
I was adding string articulations to a Sonar project using Native Instruments Session Strings and when I got done for the night I saved it as a cwp file.  Now the file won't open because the Session Strings seem to be failing to load.  It just hangs in the "loading project"  mode.  Can anybody tell me how I can open it so I can at least salvage the vocal track, which took me hours to get down.
 
Thanks

There is a safe mode opening way and it will probably do the trick here. When you open the file you should press simultaneously the shift key. Then you can choose which vsts you want to be used so you can skip the troublemaker vst.

Thanks, Kakku!  That worked!  You're my new best friend.  You saved me hours of rework.

kakku do you know if the shift trick works with Sonar 8.53?

Native Instruments does fairly frequent updates. You might want to make sure you have the latest version from the NI Service Center.

Yes, the shift trick works with Sonar 8.53 too.
