I'm not sure what this means... "REPLACE the dlls from a machine that is working." What is meant by replace?

  Replacing the dlls mentioned below from a machine that is working solves the problem:  
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcp100.dll  
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcp100d.dll  
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcr100.dll  
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcr100_clr0400.dll  
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcr100d.dll
 
 

I am still not at a computer but will be later on this evening. The reason for the replacement in safe mode is those files cannot be overwritten when in use. If you are not familiar with using a command prompt, please take a break from this as I realize your frustration level is high. If those files are the cause, uninstalls/reinstalls may be futile. Once I get back in front of a computer I can elaborate on the post you made above. I did not see and direction of "how" beyond hitting F8. I need to reread this thread and be at a computer.

Thanks. 

Yeah, as mettelus mentioned, the F8 key typically interrupts the Windows load process and would allow you to boot into Safe Mode.   And that allows certain system level files to be manipulated that would otherwise be "locked" when Windows is running normally.
 
That particular solution does refer to having the set of files available from a working machine in order to copy them over while in Safe Mode.   However, I believe those same files may also be part of a Microsoft download mentioned in an earlier solution.
 
Again, these were completely unrelated to SONAR, but the symptoms are all too similar!
 

I am running a complete ChkDsk now. If this does not solve the problem I am going to try below. I copied these files from my Desktop PC and I am goint to replace on my laptop that has Cakewalk on it...except there are two files that I can not find on my Desktop:
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcp100d.dll 
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcr100d.dll
 I am hoping that this does not do any damage to any other files on my laptop. I am not too educated in this. I know the basics, but when it comes to dlls and such I'm pretty much wingin it.

Okay, I am finally on my machine again. Did you get Melodyne running? I just wanted to clarify this based on the above post (I caught "Replacing the dlls mentioned below from a machine that is working solves the problem" but wanted to make sure).
 
Also of note - I do not have the two files you mentioned above on my machine either, specifically
"c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcp100d.dll and
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcr100d.dll"
I only have the other three, and Melodyne runs fine for me.
 
Just for your clarification... the dll (dynamic link library) files in the "runtime libraries" are files to save programmers time by having pre-defined "building blocks" in place (provided by Microsoft) to allow them to code software more efficiently (and universally). Programs relying on these (and many do) will not run with these files missing since they contain code that actually makes a program "complete" (and smaller for distribution). Most software installers will verify these are in place when loaded. These are universal files, so they will not damage your laptop.

So... that did resolve the issue for you?
 

I am runnin dskchk right now. It's taking awfully long. If that does not fix it; I saved the above files. I am not sure, however how to replace them on my computer that has cakewalk on it. In addition, do I have to do this in safe mode?

I just tested doing this with the computer running, and moved a copy of those files from my desktop into the c:\Windows\SysWOW64\ directory. I said yes to replacing all three, and it then warned me I needed to do this as administrator. I simply replied "Yes" to this and it overwrote all three files.
 
As long as no program is running which uses those files, this should be all you have to do. If something is running using those files, you should get an "access denied" that you cannot override (meaning you would need to launch Windows in safe mode). This is not likely, but if you do need to run in safe mode, you can reboot the computer and hold the F8 key down as each screen in the boot up comes up (the one just prior to the "Windows" logo will trigger a prompt to boot into safe mode). Safe mode looks like Windows (and functions the same), but will use generic drivers, so your screen resolution will be funky. You can copy those files and reboot normally, but will need to rearrange your desktop afterwards (the screen resolution will change placement of things, but delete nothing - more a nuisance).
 
Try the copying in normal Windows mode first though (best to do right after a system boot); and even if they do copy for you, please reboot afterwards before checking Melodyne again.

OK just did a dskchk and copied the files into SysWOW 64 directory. I am going to re-boot. I am going to check Melodyne again in the AM. If it still does not open in Cakewalk I'm going to uninstall and run Melodyne again. If I have a problem after this, I'm done  and I'll have to stick with Vvocal. It's more of a mission I'm on now, than anything else.  We shall see.....
