Almost sounds like the DLS soft synth DLL is causing the problem. Don't know why though. Have you tried the standard troubleshooting steps like reducing or turning off your video acceleration?

So you haven't tried reducing or turning off video acceleration, or you're not going to? ;o) (Right-click a blank area of your Windows Desktop. Select, "Properties." Click the "Settings" tab. Click the "Advanced" button. Click the "Troubleshoot" tab. Adjust your video acceleration here.)

Try this: Browse to the folder containing "sfdllsynth.dll". (Usually, this is in "C:\Program Files\Sony\ACID Pro 5.0\MIDI Drivers" if this is ACID Pro 5.) Rename the sfdlssynth.dll file to sfdlssynth.bak. Try launching ACID. If you get ACID to launch, you won't have the Sony DLS soft synth available. What you can do from that point is completely uninstall ACID, then delete any ACID folder residue left over. (Again, look in the same location.) Then reinstall ACID from there.

Not having this installed will cause problems. ACID assumes that it is installed and running. Something is amiss on your machine. Since the DLS synth is part of DirectX, I would suggest that you reinstall/update to the latest DirectX. Peter |

I really don't know what to tell you to do. You stated that you started with a clean install of Windows and have re-installed ACID a number of times. What type of audio hardware are you using? Do you have any MIDI hardware installed? If so, what model? What other software have you installed? Peter |
