Hi guys I just recently installed Sonar X3 to my system and have noticed a couple things missing, even though I have both X1 and X2 previously installed on my system I can no longer use the Pentagon plugin, also I can no longer use my midi controller? I have gone through all the steps several times within the prefferences under control surfaces, but even though I can select my midi controller it wont allow me to use it, the boxes remain unticked in the options and I cannot adjust this?  I have hunted google high and low, I have browsed these forums, I have read through manuels and browsed my Sonar text book but I still cant find an answer, Im guessing this is going to be something really simple which is whats so frustrating : /  Anyways if any of you guys have any clue whatsoever as how to trouble shoot these problems I am all ears.  
Just so you know, Im running a custom 6core rig with 16 gigs of ram, I upgraded to X3 the same day I upgraded my operating system to Windows 8.1, I also have both X2 and X1 on my system.
Thank you for reading this and taking time out to help, its much appreciated.  Juddz

Good idea.
 
Also..
 
Upgrade your drivers and firmware for all connected devices related to your DAW, and rename your AUD.INI and see what happens.
Otherwise perhaps some screenshots may help...

Thanx guys running Sonar as administrator took care of my Pentagon problem but I'm still no closer to getting my midi controller running : / I have unistalled/re installed and updated all of my drivers but still getting the same result? I'm using an SL MkII midi controller, in the prefferences under devices I have both input and ouput ticked on Automap Midi and SL MkII
I would upload a couple pics of how I have my controller set but I really have no clue how to do this?
Thanx 4 your help guys. Juddz.

Getting my AlphaTrack Controller to work involves...
 
Open preferences and midi and checking the boxes for the midi ins and outs.
Then under controllers add the device and set the ins and outs to the midi device.
 
I'm sure you've tried this, but these 2 steps are key.
