I use x64 on my main production system. I have a laptop with 32-bit version to tinker with ideas... I was enjoying using Pentagon and when I went to my main system, I couldn't get Pentagon to load. Is that an x64 issue???

64 bit here, loading Pentagon just fine.

thanks, I'll try reinstalling the Pentagon and see if that does the trick.

I had the same problem. I have Vista and went  into Sonar as Administrator and that worked.

Windows 7 you need to open Sonar as admin too.
 
I had the same problem, and someone at Cakewalk suggested this, and it fixed it.  I set up Sonar to always run as admin, then after months realised that I hadn't used Pentagon.  I then read an article on using Pentagon as a vocoder and gave it a try.  Had great fun for a bit, but then had a major crash.  I'm not saying it was Pentagon, but my system has been ultra-stable, so have not used it since. Will try again sometime, I suppose.
 
Edit for spelling....

I've forgotten about that - I've encountered the same problem too, found the answer, setup shortcut to run as admin and did not think much about it then. 

Running in admin seems to be required for some other vst as well.. just can't remember which ones, so it's easier running X1 as admin all the time.

thanks for the responses.

I've been using Pentagon too, again, to experiment with its vocoder ability.

I knew that you had to run Sonar as admin, with Win7, but is there a way to stop the message popping up asking me if it is okay for the software to run.

I've jumped straight from XP to Win7 and this dialog box is new to me.

cheers

I've been clicking Yes for too long, so it's part of the routine. Well, I've also noticed there is this option below "Change when this notification appears" and I suppose you can setup if yes/no is required, but I think it's global, so you may want to leave it as it is ?

Yeah... me too, and I'm with you, thinking that I should leave this as it is, just in case...


I suppose an extra click isn't too much bother.
