Jude 77, are you asking me about the dll files?


Yes.  That would be very helpful.

.dll files
Open file explorer on pc, close all other programs.
Click on "c" drive ( usually your main hard drive ) and open it
Top right hand search bar enter Kontakt.dll and search.
A lot of files should appear in the result ( may take a few minutes ) there will be 64 bit and 32 bit files.
Sort the files in date order, there are buttons at top of screen to do this, sort in latest first.
Then delete all files so you are left with 2 latest dated files, one for 64bit and one for 32bit.
(Note the file dates will not be the date you installed Kontakt, but the computer wiz kid mod dates.)
Remember the path that these file are in, it is best to have them in Kontakt5 folder.
Restart PC
Enter file explorer again and check only the 2 files are where they supposed to be.
Enter stand alone Kontakt and run a few vsts , all should be working ok.
Close Kontakt and then open your DAW.
Open your plugin options or whatever its called in your daw, and make sure the 2 Kontakt dll,s are present as options for Kontakt, and that your program is pointing to these dll files. If you have other plugins in your daw you should see these also if you have a view all plugin choice in your daw.
 
Open Kontakt in your DAW, and hopefully it will be accepted, then from the plug in choice open up Kontakt in the daw, select a vst and it will open.
Use a user created vst ( a Kontakt modified vst by you ) and it will open.
all ends well, this solved all the error messages for me.
 
If you have some sound distortion, I had a lot in 5.7.3 then use the Kontakt editor and turn the amp volume button down, then if the output sound is too low increase it from your mixer or speakers. You can tweak the triangular slider ( top right of program ) a little also .
Now no distortion  heh ee yippee

NI Kontakt has always acted like a cluster for me. I have a fully updated WIN7 64 system and I can't even update Kontakt to V 5.6 because of the silliness of needing a new graphics board so that NI Access looks pretty.


You are saying your display adapter (make/model?) is not compatible with Native Access and Kontakt?

Care to expand on the details? It doesn't make sense to me right now.

From what I've seen often display issues has been Windows scaling not at 100% or not on the latest display drivers (if nVidia you need to go to the Nvidia site to update).

You need OpenGL 2.1

I have a system build in 2010 that has a very nice dual display adapter - but only supports open GL2.0   - I updated to it's latest drivers - but no go. This was a 300.00 dollar adapter at the time and I'm just not going to chase hardware for another NI vaperware update. It is -  I believe a Matrox  M920 PCIE x 16.

You mean 9120?
Latest drivers and firmware (BIOS) here for M series:
http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/support/drivers/

My cheapo 7 year old nvidia card works just fine with "vaporware update" on Windows 10 if you are already on the latest drivers and firmware sorry you got burnt! I notice Matrox don't often supply certified drivers.

Yes - it is the 9120 ( was going from aged memory ) I did the latest driver update as noted prior in the thread - do you think the BIOS firmware update would get me to open GL2.1 or better?  I couldn't seem to find info on the Matrox site for that. Wasn't sure what the firmware update could do for me.   - or too me.
 
Edit : I did a quick search generically and it seems the openGL level is fixed in the whatever the card Is  - there is no software update. So  as I said earlier  - this is about a 300.00 dual head video card and it's about 6 years old.

Funny how my 7 year old cheapo GeForce card works perfectly fine with same software. Sorry you got burnt. Then again running Windows 10 rather than 7 may also have something to do with it.
