Im glad to tell U that i just tested the Cakewalk 3.01 on a PC running Windows 7 32-bit version. And everything worked perfect!
I have tested on a 64-bit system also, and that didn't work.
Disclaimer: although we do not officially support Cakewalk 3.01 on Windows 7 this might help you out.
- Right-click on the .exe or shortcut and choose 'Properties'
- Click on the 'Compatibility' tab
- Under 'run this program in compatibility mode for:' choose WinXP
- Under 'Privilege Level' section check off the box 'Always Run as Admin'
- Click Apply and then OK
No promises that will work but it can't hurt, especially since there is no way on earth that 3.01 is UAC compliant the admin switch might help. another solution might be to run WinXP mode. Check out: for more info.
