[image]file:///C:/Users/Charles%20Comer/Pictures/X2%20Folder%20Locations.png[/image]Hopefully you will be able to see it.. I tried turning off my security software which I am running Microsoft Security Essentials and that didn't work either... I also tried pointing it directly to the sample folder in the preferences window and that didn't work... Honestly right now it just seems like I am stuck with this problem. I timed it earlier and if I don't touch anything on my computer it will finally get into my sample drive after about 30 minutes.

This has to be one of the strangest glitches I've ever seen reported!  Your thread is quite a drama, chawilcomm - I'm feeling for you - such frustration!
 
Since nobody can figure out the issue, and I sure can't - I've always been able to use that Sonar browser to go wherever I want and instantly open any audio file - then it looks like you'll need to work with the routine of opening a separate window and dragging in audio that way, since you said that works.  If you have two monitors, that's really easy, just a bit trickier with 1 monitor because of the limited screen space.
 
Best of luck!

I couldn't agree more about this being a very strange issue. Unnecessary if you ask me.  also I edited that to just delete the pic all together.. hahaha.... Pretty much I have the wav folder pointed to the default installation settings that it all that it shows.... 
 
But listen I thank you all for the help. I contacted tech support for them to get back to me and we will see how that goes... Otherwise I will just go back to using Studio One and debate whether or not to get rid of X2 or to keep it until I feel like upgrading to X3 which won't be any time soon.... 
 
Again Thanks

--?  That image is so small, it blurs out totally when I try to zoom - But I recognize it as the page in Preferences where you list the locations for various things in Sonar - Why did you post that?  You're not trying to use That for directing where your browser menu goes are you?

I saw a post earlier saying paste a pic of the main file path to my media and I thought that was what they were talking about

and no not at all.. I always load up a project or open a new one before getting into the browser...

OH, OK - But that isn't where you set up the path to your media-- That's the Preference page which by default just lists the locations of Sonar's various components.
 
To open your own media, you just use the left hand browser menu in the browser that comes up by default on the right side of Sonar's main screen.-- That's where you've been trying to open your files isn't it?

Yes that is where I have been going.  I open a project and then jump in my browser.. 

chawilcomm...I always load up a project or open a new one before getting into the browser...

OK - Well, your problem is mysterious, as I said before.-- I'm still not at all clear why you thought that Preference page was showing the path to your personal media.  That Preference page has nothing to do with the issue at hand, which is to simply open the Media tab on your browser (opens with "B") and navigate to the right file location.--

I was unsure.... so i am glad that is cleared up.....Apparently I have one more thing to try.. I turned my security off when I installed it initially but don't remember doing so when I installed the update. I am going to try a complete uninstall and re-install with Security Essentials off and see if going that route will make a difference because it worked just fine until a few months ago.  This is a great DAW so hopefully this works..
