Hello John: You'll definitely want to upgrade to Cakewalk 5.2. If your already on CakeWalk 5.0, it's a free patch. It's available at the cakeWalk website. And, if you didn't receive the 5.2.8 CakeTalking software for your caketalking version 5, it's most likely a free upgrade. The CakeTalking 5.2 seems much more stable and responsive. Also, when upgrading Cakewalk, make sure to 1> Use the correct version (Studio or Producer) and 2> Upgrade in order. In other words, first CakeWalk 5, then 5.1, then 5.2. Finally, install the CakeTalking 5.2.8 scripts. You absolutely will need all of your serial numbers CakeWalk and CakeTalking. hth Jeff ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
