when i open a project (i only have one, i'm new.) a dialoque box opens up and says there is a plugin that, i think is in the wrong place. i'm sorry to be so vauge, but i just usually hit ok a couple of times and it's gone. this also happens in mc7. any suggestions?

Carl - I moved your thread to the Music Creator forum since this is the more appropriate place to discuss issues with MC7.
 
I'm afraid, however, we'll need more info.  write down exactly what the dialog box says when it pops up before you click OK (and if there's another dialog box after that, tell us what that one says as well).  we will need to know what it's telling you before we can really help.
 
 
Sorry - I just realized I may have been trigger happy - you said ALSO in MC7, so maybe you meant in Sonar as well.  if so, which version of sonar are you running?  I'll move it back if we can't help you here.

Is it a project that you started somewhere else or was sent to you? 
 
You get notices of "missing plugins" when you open projects that were created on a different computer and the person had different plugs from the ones you have.   It's generally only a small bother.... but can be a pain if it's a synth. then you have to go in and install your synths to take the place of the missing ones.
 
With plugs, simply go to the project and remove the ones you do not have and save the project.

thank you, i'll do that. i posted on the sonar forum because i also own sonar platinum and mc 7.

again, sorry about that, but let's see if we can help in here and if not, I'll move you back!
 
Herb's questions are good, too, and it also applies if you're moving from sonar to MC IF you VST scanner in each program doesn't find the plugins from the other program.  it should unless you did a custom install, tho.

FWIW, the problem should happen in both SONAR and MC7 assuming both running the same bitness. Both products use the same (as in identical) plug-in scanner. There is one Cakewalk VST scanner for 32bit and one for 64bit DAWs.
 

the problem is with both sonar and mc7. i'll copy the info from the dialouge boxes when i get home. again,thank you all for your help.

ok, i wrote down the info on the dialouge box that opens. it's 2 boxes, but for the sake redundantcy i'll write the info down once . but the problem is 2 plug ins. the box reads: the following plugin in clsid could not be matched with an entry in the vst plugin list. please identify the plugin from thre nearest matches listedbelow.
original name boost 11 1 id 1129800300
original clsid 141ac902-4357-626c-426f-6f737431315fnew path c:/program files/cakewalk/shared
 
the other plugin is px 64 percussion strip.  i hope this helps.

There are issues with Boost11 and PX64 when running SONAR Platinum and MC7. There is a discussion about Boost11 here http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3194288
 
I am not a fan of the recommended solution because of the side effect noted in msg #5 of that thread. Not sure the CW provided solution addresses this issue.
 
A little more information about the project may be helpful. Maybe I can recreate the error.
Where did the project originate MC7 or Platinum?
If MC7, is the mixstrip used?
 
 
 

they are 2 different projects. one in sonar, one in mc7 and, yes i used the mixstrip. could i just delete both projects and start over?
