First, be sure you have the latest update. I was getting that message a lot with the original release of 4.0, no matter what I did. Even when I exited Acid and came back into it, I'd still get those errors. Drove me crazy.

Then, in your Preferences, be sure you've got your audio and midi settings configured properly. I know, I know...I was completely bewildered by this, too. But when I posted the specifics here on what computer I had, what soundcard was installed, etc., people who are a whole lot smarter than me told me exactly what I needed to do to get it straight.
