You won't believe this, but the Tec fixed the problem remotely. Because Sonar 8.5 is so old, he suggested reinstalling the program. I considered this, but then he found issues within windows, found when the program first started crashing, then restored the computer to an earlier date before the crash. You might want to back up your files if you go this route.

I had the same issues. Also, Microsoft has a support number for issues like this, and you might want to contact them. This survice is free, and they deal with accessibility issues. The number is: 800 936-5900. Hope this helps.

Sorry to bring this up again, but I keep getting these exception errors when ever I'm working in a project. They are as follows. --------------------------- Error - Unhandled Exception --------------------------- A fatal error has occurred. Module: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\SONAR 8.5 Producer\SONARPDR.exe A crash dump file has been created here: C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\SONAR 8.5 Producer\MiniDumps\mid summer romance (Recover 13-11-10-15-54-39-388)_11102013_160659.dmp Exception code: c0000005 Address: 00000001408F2C57:000000006B70BFA8:0000000000001000 As a result of this error SONAR is about to exit abnormally. Should SONAR attempt to save a recovery copy of your work? --------------------------- Yes No --------------------------- Can any one recommend any remodees? And before suggested, I have tried contacting cakewalk with this problem via e-mail, but they haven't responded.
