Hello Guys:
 
Today, I opened a project and any Ik Multimedia plugin involved in failed to load correctly.  I reset all the plugins and re-scanned.  As I scanned I got the message that the IK plugins had failed the "main call".  I then uninstalled them and reinstalled them, reset and scanned again.  Same message.  Then I tried a system restore, but they still failed.  Again, it's only IK Multimedia plugins.  I'm trying here first rather than IK because you guys are generally quicker, and more helpful. 
 
Any thoughts?

I think you need to run Sonar as administrator.

Hello Jlien X,
 
First, thank you for your reply.  I am running Sonar as administrator, and strangely, this has only affected IK plugins.

What version of IK plugs are you running?

Any chance something is up with the authorization?

Hi Guys
 
Thanks for your replies.  Since it's only IK plugins I'm thinking it maybe a weirdness in the authorizations too Sanderxpander.  I put a ticket in at IK support.  When I get it worked out I'll post here in case anybody else has this problem.
 
Again, thanks to all.

No- you need to run IK multimedia plugins as administrator. I do not remember how I did it- I think you right click on .dll file and go to the Options/run as administrator, or something of that nature. I had the same problem- I called IK and they told me to do that- it fixed it.

Yes, the IK plug-ins themselves need to be run as administrator.
Don't just click "Run as Administrator" in the pop-up.
You need to right click the .exe, select Properties>Compatibility. Place a check mark int the Privilege Level box.
You should be good to go after that.
I have only had to do this with my IK plug-ins(so far).
It was a lot more effective than the colorful verbage floating around my room 'til I figured it out

My IK plugs kept crashing X2. When I upgrade to X3 all problems seems to disappear overnight. 
 
May I ask which version of Sonar you are using?
