I installed Sound forge 10.0 on my windows 7 64 bit pc. when i launch the program it freezes at initialing directx plugins. I have to use alt control delete to clear my screen. ANY help would be great.

Can you be more specific? It's like asking,"my car doesn't start, what's wrong with it?"
New SF or other applications installed? new OS? Plug-ins? Your System specs should be entered in your profile as well.
That said, have you tried:
- Shutting down anti-virus
- Shutting down other apps that are running in the background
- 'Uninstall> clean registry> re-install'

The same happens to my sf10. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it stil can't open. When I used it a couple of months ago, it worked fine. Any idea what's going on?

@Bustluvr, any success? I haven't discovered any broken plugin. SF10 doesn't want to open. SF9 opens and works ok, but id doesn't cooperate with the vocal eraser which I need.

It seems I found the solution in the knowledgebase. I've right clicked the icon of the program and chose "open as administrator". Then I entered the serial number and opened it. It's still a mystery why I had to do repeat the activation procedure anew.
