Problem solved. Called Cakewalk...fixed my problem in 30 seconds...that's what drives me crazy, I knew it would be something easy, yet spent what seemed liked way too much time trying to figure what was wrong. Before when I tried to open Dimension Pro/Rapture, this window came up saying to give registration#, and when I did it said "invalid #" even though that registration# was there in my account. Cakewalk tech help told me that was a common problem and all I had to do was right click when opening X2 and then "run as administrator" Then put the registration# in and ta-da...Just like to say thanks to everyone who was trying to help me out here....much appreciated....
