Hi everyone. Thanks for the help.

Yes, jb, those registry keys are the correct ones and the exact same keys Cakewalk tech support recommended to delete. The uninstall and reinstall worked perfectly after following these instructions. Thanks.

altima_boy_2001, you are also correct. I wasn't specific in my earlier response, but I rarely have to manually re-install all my software after Windows install any longer. I now use an even better solution than your suggested solution, since it requires NO explicit action on my part before a major hard drive crash to recover things.

I now do automatic daily backups of my computer to an external USB hard drive using a very well known backup software program called "Retrospect Professional", formerly from a company called "Dantz". The company was purchased and can now be found (as well as at a lot of online retail sites) here:

If I have a sudden catestrophic hard drive failure, now all I have to do is install a new hard drive, use the restore DVD that came with the PC to reinstall the base WinXP Pro installation, install Retrospect Professional, then do a disaster recovery restore using the most recent backup, which in my case would have been from 2:00 AM that day. That's it. In about an hour everything is "almost" exactly back the way it was before the crash at the state of the computer from 2:00 AM that morning.

It took a while to figure all this out (and of course I tested it with a blank drive to make sure it all works BEFORE I need it to) but it was well worth the peace of mind and the "hands off" approach I was looking for. It doesn't get much better than this!

I went into all this detail to help anyone that may be interested in emulating this setup.

Take care guys!

I inadvertantly installed my copy of Sonar Home Studio 7 on my laptop which is not compatible with the program. How can I uninstall and install it on my PC instead. Or can I have my copy on both???  My laptop doesn't have the appropriate sound card.  My PC does.

You are allowed to install Cakewalk Home studio 7 on up to 2 different computers
(using it one at a time).

Ok I tried that and I got multiple message about drivers failing it says I can Retry, Abort or Ignore. I ignored all of them then I got a message saying The Program can't start because mfc140u.dll is missing.  I'm not a techie so can you help me?
 
 

For only $50 you can buy the latest version and not have these issues. Software gets outdated. 
This thread is 10 years old, You should start your own to get clear answers. 

I just bought this about a week ago. I think is should be the latest right?  Would you have any way of knowing how I can get a refund?

You need to contact Cakewalk support and ask them the question:

Tried that. They're no help at all.  I'm just a beginner at recording so a lot of what they are telling me is confusing to me.

You need to go back to them and say that.

I got my PVR working, now I'm trying to record my vocals. I opened a new track, clicked on Record and nothing happens. All I see is a straight line.
