download extraction problem (solved)
how can one keep cool ? ;-) so i just bought the upgrade and i have by now downloaded sort of 20gig of files today but first the second installer package is corrupt, then i download the third one three times and its corrupt every time (still on different expanion progresses) so WHAT ist the problem? i NEVER have issues with any other download of other brands that are similarily big (ableton live for example) - why here ? its somehow frustrating - especially since i have NEVER had a single "no problems - installation" of any sonar since version 7 !!!

Are you running the install as administrator?

What browser are you using. I found Firefox best for downloading.

If you are running Windows Security Essentials, you might try turning off the real time protection. I've had problems getting some of the install files to unzip while this is on.

What do you mean by corrupt?
Note that some, to include myself, experienced IE stripping off the *.exe from off of the file. You may also be experiencing the same thing. Rename the file by adding the exe extension. If your issues are otherwise, then disregard my comment.

You can get a boxed upgrade,which Is In fact the full product of any Sonar X2 from ET Cetera In the UK for the same price as downloads.
Much better to get hard copies than spending hours with downloads.
Even got the HD Orchestra free and Halloween together

thanks for all the kind replies...
actually i had downloaded the stuff with safari on my mac , with internetexplorer on w7 and then with firefox (download manager including checksum files)
in the END the problem i had was something completely different (and thats weird):
the third download packet itself was ok all the time but the autoextractor from packet 1 just never recognized it as being part of the whole thing - so in the end i just had to extract the packages with winzip "by hand" and then it worked - again - very strange...
btw: i am a little shocked from x2 - since i switched directly from 8.5 i have to admit that i have the feeling of having no clue at all ...
so a last question(for today) arises:
i work with 2 24" full hd monitors
i tried to set the windows in a was that the arrange window is maximized on screen one - but it doesnt work.
the gui always keeps a third of the arrange window on screen 2 - thats ...erm.. "uncool" ;-)
do i miss something about the screensets
best regards
btw: i was not even able to get a sound out of the plugs - i feel like a moron :-)

Personally, I like using F11 to activate Full Screen mode when displaying the TV across two monitors (two 24" here as well). If it doesn't immediately span across, double-click across the very top.

Do you have full screen mode active? Try pressing F11 or selecting/deselecting it from the Window menu. I use triple monitors with the main display on two 22" monitors which works okay.
Windows etc will still float or undock but the new GUI may take a little while to get used to. Coming from 8.5, X2 may well be a bit of a learning curve overall, as you're finding out but IMHO well worth the teething pains.

hmm...well - actually i want to span the whole sonar window over both screens but i also want to scale the tv so that it is only on screen one... in 8.5. i used to split the screens like that: i had tv full on the left screen and the mixer view and the midinote view sharing screen 2 since every window was freely scalable...

You can still do that, try undocking one or both of them from the multidock if you don't want the PRV and CV sharing it. (Right click on the relevant tab)

Actually just re-read what you want to do, it's even simpler. Undock the multidock and drag it to the second monitor. Shift + D will maximise it to the monitor
