Reloading all settings after fresh install???

[stevebusch]

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to reload all settings (audio, midi, etc...) after reinstalling Cakewalk? I saved my previous Cakewalk application folder.
Thanks.
Steve

i understood cakewalk did it automatically on a reinstall - it does for me when I select that option on reinstall.

Yes, maybe, if it detects it on your system. But, I rebuilt my OS and now have to reinstall all my applications. Is there a preferences file to copy over from the original app folder???

i think its in your initializing preferences

This is copied from the help section

"Initialization Files

Many Windows applications, as well as Windows itself, use files to store information about your preferences and configuration. Often applications store values to these files when you make selections in the program using menus or dialog boxes. However, you can also change these files directly. In some cases, there is no way to change the settings in the application, and changing the file directly is the only way.
This topic documents three initialization files, which are stored in the Cakewalk program folder:

· CAKEWALK.INI

· TTSSEQ.INI

· AUD.INI"

Hope this helps
cheers

Even with these 3 files, Cakewalk still fails to recreate its "desktop". You'll have to go through all the Window, Toolbar and Colour setup again...
