Ive had SF for a while now and it has always worked. Lately I havent used SF for about 2 months now. I tried to start it up and I get the SF splash screen and then a box saying 'searching for audio plugins' and then I always get a fatal exception. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, repairing and anything else I can think of. I havent changed anything about my computer in these 2 or 3 months that I havent used SF. I have directx8.0a. Please help me , I love this program!

There were problems recognizing plug-ins in the first release of Sound Forge. This has been fixed with subsequent updates, the latest of which can be downloaded from the following link:

I've already tried SF 5.0d - it does the same thing.
It used to work. Is there anything I could try? You guys are good at helping people I know you'll have a solution. Thanks.

Ya I'm getting the same problem and I REALLY REALLY need sound forge to work, I think it might be something with either DirectX 8.0 or onboard sound cause we both have onboard sound and we are both getting the same problem, anyways keep me posted if you find whats going on, Thanx

The only thing I did different was upgrade my onboard soundcards drivers from the windows update site. PLEASE, someone help- Soundforge is awesome and I dont want to use anything else...
