I have recorded some backing tracks and saved them as .bun files. When I open them again they play OK and I add another track to them, and save that as a .bun file with a different name. IE: the backing tracks are named 'song.cwb' and the added track file is called 'song+new.cwb'. When Sonar tries to open the project and the 'song+new.cwb' file is loaded into Sonar, the 'loading audio data' bar at the bottom of the SONAR page looks like it's loading the file, but at the end of the load I get an error message: "unexpected error code hr:2147500037, file HRESULT: 3221225747" Does anyone know what that means? The file does not load, but the file is on the hard drive named as I saved it as a .cwb file. Thanks, Larry Robertson

Try right-clicking on the file name on the hard drive and selecting Open With>SONAR.

Thanks for the response 57Gregy. I tried it and it did not work. Right clicking on the file on the hard-drive did open Sonar, and Sonar tried to load the file, but at the end of the load I got the same message. I would like to hear from someone in Cakewalk tech support who can tell me what the error code means.

This is a user forum, it is unlikely that tech support will respond. A quick search for similar errors would suggest a problem with a plug-in. Try opening the project in safe-mode (hold the SHIFT key while opening the file) and load the plug-ins one at a time.

I did email customer support and did get a return email. They suggested I try another project, but error code comes up after loading on numerous files. They also stated they no longer support SONAR LE. I used to like working with SONAR until I had a computer crash & tried to load my backed up files to another computer. The other computer is loaded with Windows 7 not XP. Tyring to backup files from 2 locations on the hard drive is nuts (project & audio file are in different heirachys) and saving the projects as .cwb files gets me this error code and won't load the files, so what good is SONAR? I think I am going to switch to CUBASE. I want to make music, not work on computers. I no longer trust SONAR. Larry Robertson, Denver, CO

You should use Per Project Audio Folders-setting to have the project file and its audio in the same folder.
I wouldn't be surprised if its practically the same in other DAWs. Bun-files are known to be vulnerable.
 
Did you really use "+" in the file name, or is it just there for clarification? Such symbols might make the filename unusable. OTOH, I have used "+" in file names (in doc-files) in Windows without problems.

PWBoogie:  It could also absolutely have something to do with the fact that there are two [very] different Operating Systems in play here.  First of all, I am not even sure if the LE version will run on Win7- so that could be an issue right off the bat.  Do you know which LE version it is- there are a few of them (X1LE, 4LE, 6LE, 8.5LE).  So right off the bat I'd be worried about compatibility with Win7.  U
 
Also PWBoogie, in searching around I found something similar that you should read:

That might be something.

I'm having the same issue.  One of my artist recorded on Sonar on Windows7.  Sent me the "cwb" file and when I try and open the file I have the same error code.  I've tried the right click stuff and also tried opening in Safe Mode by holding shift to take out any plug in's.  All this and still not working. Does it have to do with something with it being Windows7 or what? Very frustrating, we are currently having to transfer his vocal files through mp3 tracks and lining them up due to this issue.

Best to avoid bundles

Will 8.5 run bundles with Win7? 64Bit..
