hi everyone, somehow we need to get to the bottom of this. this problem started about two weeks ago. i will attach the errors. what i've done so far to fix this is have sweetwater uninstall/reinstall sonar and the errors go away for a week or so. then i contacted those geek squad people to have them go through my computer to locate any issues that can be causing this.
frankly, i really don't know about those people. they all sound like teenagers, they have no idea what a DAW is and i get the same feeling with them as i do when i bring my car to a mechanic.
it's 6 am here and wanted to get an early start on a project. however, here we are again doing this crap.i would appreciate any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this thoughts or ideas on how to fix this most
annoying problem.
thanks so much and look forward to hearing from you guys.

probably the same as this thread http://forum.cakewalk.com/Looking-for-users-who-had-the-DLL-issue-Please-add-your-info-m3675254-p2.aspx#3679703

I recall reading somewhere that file is mistaken for malware by some virus/spyware programs and possibly removed during scans. That may be your problem, but I don't know for sure.
 

I'd also check the integrity of the hard disk.  Possible there's some bad sectors.  
 

This is exactly the same problem being addressed in that other thread. Please go there and add your 2 cents, in particular which antivirus software you're using.

from what i'm seeing the problem has something to do with Mcaffee (what a surprise). i don't understand what DLL and other such computreize means. however, what i will do is experiment starting sonar with and without AV and see what happens.
thanks to you all for your help. i would really be in the woods (with bigfoot) without you people.
