Almost every time I start up SF10, I get a window that tells me that my last session was terminated improperly, even though it wasn't. I see this message almost everytime when starting the program.

Have you tried "reseting" your SF config?

Appreciate the response. Can you elaborate more on this please?

If you hold down Shift & Ctrl while you start Sound Forge (or Vegas or ACID or DVDA or CDA or ....) then your installation will be reset to all the factory defaults, just the same way it was when you first installed it.

Note that while this clears up a lot of problems, it also undoes any of the preference settings that you wanted so you'll have to redo them.

I've actually had the same problem, (running on an i7 with Win7 64bit). I'll have to try resetting too. Will report back later.

Discovered over 15,000 hidden .sfk files totaling almost 100 gigabytes in my Sound Forge temp folder last night. After deleting them all, the above problem was fixed. I no longer get the error message when starting Forge. Could this be a bug? What's 15,000 SFK files doing still hanging around my temp folder? And all this from a recent six month clean install of Windows 7. Any thoughts?

They were probably left there because SF has not been shutting down properly. So is a symptom and not the cause....

You have got the 'delete temp files on exit' checked ? Though this is a different thing to SFK files ...

I just noticed that they are .lock files and not .sfk files. I do also have delete temporary files on exit enabled, but I dunno if this is in reference to .sfk files or .lock files...or both.

I'm having the same problem and files are not being deleted as they should. Only seems to have started happening recently though.
This is on XP and I don't want to reset all of my saved settings.

Is there any news on this yet?
Do any other users see the same behaviour?

I think I've inadvertently solved this. Just uninstalled SF9 and now the error message doesn't appear.

I also re-organized a few plug-ins but wouldn't think this was the cause.

Happy days!

Unfortunately I was wrong and it's back again.

Along with all of the other crap that is absolutely horrible about SF10, I'm having the same problem EVERY time I open SF10. It is a fresh install of 10b (build 474) on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (i.e. no other SF installs on this machine). This is just one more layer of annoyance on the giant pile of annoying that is SF10 for me. It'd be great to solve at least one of them.

(tongue placed firmly in cheek) I know Sony's busy figuring out how to REALLY screw up SF 11, but is anyone working on this particular bug?
