He said what!



I wouldn't leave home without 64 bits. 32 bits is so last century.

Really, 64 bits is the way to go. Its truly better in nearly every way. Those plugins that can't be bridged aren't worth having. 

Notice no large type?

UPDATE: Partially solved.
I never got a response from Cakewalk, but after some more research I decide to completely uninstall X2 (using the method at the bottom of this post) and reinstall as administrator, instead of reinstalling as administrator over the top of the previous install.

This time Pentagon and PSYN II installed without the "Unable to register the DLL/OCX" error, however, even after opening X2 as administrator, the plugins don't work. My MIDI track that feeds the synth is lighting up on the meter, but nothing comes out of the synths.

Other synths (Z3TA) are working fine.

Any suggestions?


For those experiencing the same install problem, here are the instructions I found for a clean install of Sonar:

 
a) Completely un-install SONAR from your computer. This is normally 
done from Start | Programs | Cakewalk. This will not remove any of 
your files or audio data. 

b) To make sure nothing else is running while reinstalling SONAR in 
step 'e', choose Start | Run and type MSCONFIG. Click OK, choose 
Selective Startup, then uncheck the Load Startup Group Items box. 
Click OK, and restart Windows. You can always recheck that box at a 
later time. In Win 2000/XP, click Ctrl+Alt+Del and manually End Task 
on the items you don't need running. Restart your computer. 

c) Click the Windows Start button and select Run. At the prompt type 
REGEDIT and click OK. 
Backup your Registry before making edits - you do this by clicking the 
Registry menu, Export Registry File. 
Now delete the following Registry keys 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software 

Please note that this will remove any effects presets and key bindings 
you may have made in Cakewalk. You can back up those registry keys 
separately if you like. 

d) Delete the files AUD.INI and TTSSEQ.INI from the SONAR program 
folder. (For this step, I had to SEARCH my C drive for these files. You might have to set your computer to view hidden files ... not sure.)

e) Restart your computer, then reinstall SONAR.
