SF 5.0 Problems with WinXP -Sound Forge - PC - MAGIX Community Forums Archive

Subject:SF 5.0 Problems with WinXP Posted by: kureboy99 Date:10/13/2002 8:40:24 PM I have reinstalled soundforge, deleting and clearing out all registry entries as well as old folders each time, but after it installs I run the program, enter in the serial number and then it brings up a box saying "program not properly installed, please reinstall". I am using WinXP with SP1. Any suggestions or thoughts for those who have had this same experiance or know what could be causing the problem? Thanks in advance. Rob

I just installed the WinXP Service Pack 1.. and then i got this error when i tried running SF. So i uninstalled, then reinstalled.. when i get to the serial number input, i do that.. but then when i click 'Next' i get this same error again. The demo version runs fine though..... Is there a solution to this?

Subject:RE: SF 5.0 Problems with WinXP Reply by: Iacobus Date:10/9/2003 1:01:25 PM I believe that Sound Forge 5.0 and above are certified to work with XP. When you uninstall and then reinstall, try restarting your system before launching SF for the first time. If that doesn't work, uninstall Sound Forge in Safe Mode (repeatedly press F8 while your system boots before Windows loads), then restart in normal mode and reinstall.

Subject:RE: SF 5.0 Problems with WinXP Reply by: SonyTSW Date:10/9/2003 8:47:42 PM Are you installing as Administrator, or have admin permissions? The SF 5.0 installer may not be checking this. WinXP has increased file and registry security compared to Win2K so you must be an admin to install under WinXP. When SF 5.0 was released WinXP may not have been out yet (I'd have to check the dates).
