Subject:New Hard Drive won't run Sound Forge or Batch 5

I moved SF6 and BC5 with their image to a new hard drive in the same machine and these are the only two program so far that won't run. I've reinstalled them after removing them and they still won't run. I am at a loss. Here's the error I get.

sfbatch.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.

of course when I run SF6, I get the same error only with sf.exe

I'm running Win2000Pro with SP3. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times and still get this error when I run the program.

I believe you need to get a new activation code from Sonic Foundry. The following is from the SF knowledge base.

I have posted to a couple of forums asking if drives cloned using Norton Ghost will allow these programs to run without reinstalling. How about it? Anybody?

Anyhow, I'll post here if I learn any more.

I have restored my system from a Ghost image on several occasions and had no problems. No need to reinstall anything.
