cant get AP5 to work at all (demo version) -ACID Product Family

Subject:cant get AP5 to work at all (demo version) Posted by: spankyr Date:2/28/2005 8:44:29 PM Has anybody had trouble getting it to work at all? I installed it, no problem (except the Media Manager thing, got some kind of error message about an SQ server deal or something- but I understand the Media Manager isnt really necessary). But when I tried to open AP5, I got a few different messages. First it said it couldnt find a .dat file. Then a UVI engine problem, some sort of Error ID:2. And then Acid announced that there was an error and it needed to close.I've tried lots of different things. Tech support had me turn back on all my Administrative Services- no improvement.I installed SP2- no help.I'm running XP Home with a 2.8 g P4, with a gig of ram, and 2 7200 rpm drives.And a Tascam FW1884. I've been a registered user of Acid Pro 3 for years- no problems with it. I've been using my system with Sonar with no problems for some time as well. I figure if I cant get the demo to work, I'd better not purchase the program. Anybody have any suggestions about how I might be able to get it to work?
