There are two issues Jimmy, and I've covered one of them. I'll think about the other one in the meantime Dana  should run windows update everywhere including optional updates, and update .NET framework I suggest (and what others say).

Search with Google instead, with terms like :
 
site:cakewalk.com forum kontakt long load x2
 
The above restricts Google to the Cakewalk site, then terms 'forum', 'kontakt', 'long', 'load', and 'x2'
 
Give that a shot for searching, using whatever terms you want.

Wow! Alex, you never cease to blow my mind (which is already a psychotropically modified formation)
 
Bob: good one. I've done that many times seeking solutions as it does render insites quite well. Cake should just use the goog!  Don't understand having to get a cup of Joe before searching again!
 
Thanks for reminding me.
 
Hope I don't blow up my rig, Alex...

Nah... not my c drive. I'm so disappointed I didn't do a clean install on my new rig... data? Yes.
 
Figure the drive corruption/failure gods will let me know when it's time to move to win 8... and start fresh...shoulda done it...shoulda done it...shoulda shoulda shoulda

Shoulda woulda booda,.. so is your filesystem corrupt or something? What are you saying?
 
Are you able to check your windows event logs using event viewer to see if there are related errors and are there errors while trying to save a file from any other app on your system, for instance notepad.exe?
 
Hope you get it sorted out??
 
Cheers
Jim

nope to all, Jim...i was just making a joke about Alex reminding me to backup before I blew up my computer trying to do what he suggested!
Everything else, even x3 works fine...write my music on the rig.  This is a drive independent issue...Seems to be when saving a song with lots going on... several kontakt/play in multi channel mode with large sample instruments (got plenty ram)
 
I'll have to figure out event viewer...and check next time. Also going to see if it's kontakt/play  loading slowly, hiding its actions (seems to exit "loading"window too fast on "Ew" files, like pianos which I know load snail paced.
 
It's funny...I first noticed this issue when x3 would crash when I hit play after loading a song from a prior good session. My work around became saving it to a different drive then playing, which worked...mostly. 
To my pea brain I figured the file wasn't corrupt but hanging for some reason on completely loading.
 
I'm gonna try some things you all have suggested over the next couple evenings (while still having fun learning/composing) and I'll follow up over the weekend... Heavy garden schedule till Sunday!
 
Thanks all...I have enough to reflect on thru the weekend! Still having the fun of my life using this glorious creation ..
 
 

Might have more suggestions if no joy. Once you've gone through it please summarise what you've done, I'm sure you have enough on your plate in the meantime, suggestions from others (and .net update) are the ticket right now I suggest... Thanks...

Yea, I'll try to b organized, and I'm sure crash dumps are being stored somewhere. Will summarized/forward all to the geniuses if solutions don't arrive out of ur help. Will even try loading up older non kontakt/play songs repeatedly to see if it may b outsideour only occurring in this area.
 
I'll let this go dormant into next week till I have more to report. Gotta get some real creating time in and mostly have always recovered....albeit time/annoyance
 
You've given me plenty to explore during moments of "coitus interuptus"! I'll keep the thread up on a different screen from now on.  Thanks!
 
 

You just gave me an idea. Sonar X4 really should have the ability to have the forums in the multidock! Thanks..
