HS2002 software problem/updates?

[gamma ray]

HELP!

I was trying to move Cakewalk and related files from my C to my D drive (don't even ask why)--now I can't even open it. It says "error in sequencer DLL". All the original files, include the Project files and the CWSH.EXE, and even the shortcuts are still on my computer (although it claims it can't find some .dll files that I can see with the naked eye), and now it doesn't seem to matter where I put them, it won't open the program.

Secondary question, if this is all !@#$ed up and I have to start over, can I download an update for cheap, or am I gonna have to spend another $80?

OK, tertiary: I noticed today at the home page that Home Studio sells for $130 on the web; why did I pay $80 at the music store?

With sincerest love for anyone who can fix question 1,

Just don't uninstall HS02 or you will lose all kinds of stuff until after you've tried the things below.

JUST WANTED TO SHARE THE RELATIVELY PROMPT AND QUITE HELPFUL RESPONSE FROM CAKEWALK REGARDING MY PROBLEMS WITH START UP HANGING


It sounds like an IRQ conflict. Go to Start | Settings | Control
Panels | System | Device Manager and double click on Computer. Make sure that your USB Port, sound and video cards are not sharing IRQ numbers with any other device. PCI steering should be OK. If they are you can should locate a number that doesn't appear in the list and change it to that number. If you need help doing this, then you should contact your computer manufacturer for instructions on changing the IRQ. If that is not the case, then it sounds as if your soundcard/midi Interface drivers are corrupt or outdated. Download and install the latest drivers from your soundcard manufacturer's website. Then, delete the files AUD.INI and TTSSEQ.INI located in your Cakewalk folder on your hard drive.

AND FOR SEQUENCER DLL ERROR MESSEGE THAT CAME LATER>>>


It sounds as if your soundcard/midi Interface drivers are corrupt or outdated. Download and install the latest drivers from your soundcard manufacturer's website, or if you have the latest drivers, reinstall the ones that you have. Then, delete the files AUD.INI and TTSSEQ.INI located in your Home Studio folder on your hard drive. Then, under Options | Midi Devices, make sure that Midi Mapper and any Wave/Soft synth is not selected. Instead, select the Midi Synth for the internal sounds or the Midi Out/MPU401 if you have an external midi device. Next, under Options | Audio | Drivers, only select your Soundcard wave
in and out, do not select any voice modems or other drivers.

Ok, you CANNOT move programs from one drive to another in Windows and expect things to work. Most programs add entries to the System Registry in addition to placing DLL's in certain places. You should have uninstalled the program and re-installed it to the new location.

The worst part is that you pretty much messed everything up by trying to copy files - most likely you cannot run the uninstall program now.

My suggestion would be to re format your drive and reinstall everything (Windows included). Its the only way to guarantee everything you did wrong is fixed.

I don't understand the second part. Do you not have the original installation CD? If you payed $80, you should have a CD...

Finally, the price on the website is MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) - stores can charge whatever they want for the software. If you buy it off the website, you'll have to pay that price.
