I've searched the forums and support pages and tried all suggestions. I still can't get SF 8.0a to launch. The Red start Icon (showing the version and license info) comes up and nothing else happens. Task Manger lists the Application as 'Adobe Default Windows Sound Driver.' If I 'right click' that and 'Go to Process' it goes to 'Forge80.exe.' My machine is new with a clean install of Windows and I have no other errors or issues.

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2.
NVidia QuadroFX 3400 - video adapter
Creative Audigy2Z Video Editor - sound card
2GB Ram and 500MB free drive space

More info since my initial post:

I began to wonder about the 'Adobe Default Windows Sound Driver' indication and uninstalled all of my Adobe Products (Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere). SF 8.0a now launces and performs properly. There is a conflict between AdobePremierePro 1.5 and Sound Forge.

I posted this info at Adobe also.

Has anyone else had this problem and figured out a fix?

Regards,

I am getting this with the install of SF 8.0b. I have quite a few Adobe apps, including Premiere Pro 1.5 and Premiere Elements 2.0.

Any word on a fix or work-around?

Thanks.
