It may be a virus....seriously, the CIH virus got me the same way. Try this link for a freeware CIH virus cleaner that worked great for me. http://www.pspl.com/download/cleancih.htm Make sure you run it from the command prompt because the virus is memory resident and infects EXE files as they are run. If the program tells you that it cleaned this virus out then you might have to reinstall Sound Forge and anything else that stopped running to get them to work again. Good luck! |

Mark, I recommend you run a virus utility. The symptoms you describe may be caused by the WinCIH virus. I've heard this a good deal here in Tech Support lately, clicking on the Sound Forge executable results in a couple seconds of hourglass, or sometimes "Sound Forge is not properlly installed. Please rerun setup". The virus loads into memory and can survive a reinstall of your operating system, it attaches itself to executables and prevents some of them from launching, including Sound Forge and Cool Edit apparently. AnitViral Toolkit Pro, www.avp.com, detects and removes the virus. That may get you back up and running. mark wrote: >>Recently on opening soundforge ...or for that matter >>Cooledit Pro, - neither open - cooledit leaves its tip-box >>open but neither application run.... >> >>"its as if they were never there!!"...ominous overtones >>...low kettle drum roll >> >>seriously has anyone a answer for me?
