HAH! Tried that and ever after SONAR just kept crashing :(...However it booted me into installing X1C, and that has addressed a lot of what I was asking about. Now all I have to do is get CW to allow me to dl the later updates.

If sonar is crashing because you run it as administrator you have a problem. You need to trouble shoot and find out what is causing this.

Yeah that is odd.  If anything, running as admin should make issues go away.

If I read the prior posts correctly, simply running X1 unpatched as administrator would not solve much. Read the list of bug fixes for X1a/b/c/d.

You are correct. I have installed x1c so far and everything I have talked of has gone away. I asked about that, because I was not going to get all excited if it did not fix anything. However I have done it now. I am waiting for a download link for X1e Expanded. I do not have x1d available.

"If sonar is crashing because you run it as administrator you have a problem. You need to trouble shoot and find out what is causing this. " Funny thing was, it kept crashing after that even when I opened normally. However patches have fixed it all AFAICS.

glad to hear you got it working.

Not half as glad I am! It's been a hair-tearing few days and I have hardly done a lick of music. Anyway, thanks for chiming in guys. Sometimes just reading ideas and discussing it stops you going completely nuts, because it's _something_ to try.

I know the feeling ! Like you're going mad and the whole world is against you :-)

Unfortunately,it seems that this sort of suffering is the price to pay to make and manage music on a computer, unless you pay someone to do the suffering for you.

Well I can tell you. I have worked, with a longish break, with Cakewalk since Cakewalk (not SONAR!) 3. What I have in front of me now is just....words fail me..... I had 4 keyboard synths, a drum machine (Roland TR909), another drum machine (A Yamaha) and a Yam XG60 (?) synth/sound/midi card, 2 4-way MIDI ports and the wiring to go with it......and the lot together were not a touch, for sound quality, power and sheer moxie,on what I now have in one box and a MIDI input keyboard. And if I want to upgrade synths, I will take the pain of $100 and a few moments of angst over the $2k plus for new keyboards/synths of the same power. So though I get frustrated and mad, I keep going because this is THE toyshop and I am the kid in it! :D...as are well I assume....I do have to admit that all those synths _looked_ and felt amazing, all racked up, and I miss that. The Roland Jupiter 6 had to be the prettiest synth ever, in a dimmed room....however...

running without the updates ? o boy.
