Sound Forge 10 FX Favorites failing to load -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Sound Forge 10 FX Favorites failing to load Posted by: Queen Maeve Date:4/11/2015 1:49:49 AM I just installed Sound Forge 10 Build 252 to a brand new Windows 8.1 Pro laptop. It installed without error, but when I try to use any of the FX Favorites I get this error: An error occurred during an edit operation. An unexpected error has occurred. Plug-in: "XXXXX" failed to load. Make sure this plug-in is installed properly. I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it, but the errors continue. I have tried to register all the plug-in DLLs, but this did not resolve the problem. I see someone else posted a similar message a year ago about SF9, but there is no response posted. I have sent an email to Sony but have not had a response. Hardware is Toshiba Satellite with i7-4710HQ CPU, 12GB RAM, 1TB HD and Touchscreen. No viruses, no malware, no spyware, no Windows Update yet. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? The ONLY FX Favorite that will work is the Izotope Audio Enhancer, which was installed separately. ALL the others fail with the above error. Thanks.

SF10 is fairly old so try running in compatibility mode in either W7 or XP. Right click icon and select 'trouble shoot compatibility' then 'troubleshoot program' -> worked in earlier version. Try W7 or XP. Best of luck. G
Subject:RE: Sound Forge 10 FX Favorites failing to load Reply by: Queen Maeve Date:4/13/2015 12:17:26 PM That is a very good suggestion, thank you. Actually I have been using SF 10 under Windows 7 for several years without error. I was surprised that when I upgraded last week to Movie Studio 13 Suite, it came with version 10 of Sound Forge and version 5 of DVD Architect. I was expecting both those programs to have newer versions, but those are what my download page gave me. Only Movie Studio had a newer version to download. I have tried your suggestion and unfortunately, it does not work if I try it in compatibility mode for either Win7 or WinXP, but thanks again because it was a good idea.
