Strange issue X3 Prod and Dim Pro?

I have a separate drive for samples and separate drive for Audio files. Some of my audio files were dropping the audio engine-first time ever. Same files, etc. I heard a clicking and tracked it down to the Audio HD-bummer. I removed it and decided to work on some midi projects. Well, now Dim Pro cannot find the multisamples???? Same directory in the registry as it has been many years. Other softsynths have no issues.only dim pro?
 
My specs are below.
Thanks

    So did you check the registry to see what file path it is set right now?
    Otherwise ...

    Of Course I checked the registry. I did mention that in my post. Thanks but I believe I'll check a bit more for a solution before reinstalling

    Never experienced a DimPro failure where the files actually existed but could not be found.  Does the stand alone version work? Could the permissions have been changed on the folder making the files unreachable?
     
    Make sure you are looking in the correct registry entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\dp key "Multisamples Folder"
     
    The last resort would be the clean reinstall suggested in post #2

    Thanks Scook -  Does seem weird especially since the audio drive died and this happened. Nothing Dim was on the audio drive. I have had the dp samples on the same HD (alone) for a long time now. Definitely the right key. I'll look around some more. For now

    OK-This is weird. The preset menu in Dim Pro has maybe 30 bass's in it. If I select one of them all is well and samples are found and bass plays. But if I browse thru the folder tree nothing is found no matter what I select???
    Not looking good

    The 30 bass presets sound like the 3rd expansion pack.

    Yes they do but all are in the same ms folder. Well, I appreciate the advice from you and Alex.
    Guess the answer is re-install. Yuck.
    Thanks Guys

    run the standalone as administrator and make sure to use one of your serial numbers starting with CWDM-1.50-

    To be specific you are running Sonar as administrator using any of these methods:
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11841-run-administrator.html
     
    You have checked the Cake store for various Dimension Pro serial numbers within the X download areas etc.
     
    You read this:

    You rang tech support as you ran out of options ;)

    I am but it still will not see the samples? And will not take the reg-says it's registered??? I need to give up for tonite.
    It should not be this difficult-I am an old computer nerd, should be a breeze.
    Thanks for trying.
