I have an very old Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 sequencer / sampler software,
legally bought, the licenses are ok. I tried to setup the software to my
laptop pc with windows 7. This didn't really manage. All the computer
tilted, and there was work to wake my computer to work again. On the the
earlier windows -versions Cakewalk worked well, and it was easy to setup.

Is it possible, that this version on Cakewalk doesn't work on win 7 and
later windows -versions...?

That software is 4 operating systems old. Win 7's compatable mode
doesn't offer a path, so its most likely it would not work. You could
find a used copy of 8.5, I had a test version running on Win 7 64bit &
32 Bit, before upgrading to X1.

Good Luck.

I'd ditch the old software and go to something like Reaper.
I use both Cakewalk Sonar and Reaper, but Reaper is much less expensive and
a much better written program IMO.

Thank you for a very interesting website. What else may I get that type
of information written in such a perfect manner? I have a project that
I'm just now working on, and I have been on the look out for such
information.

Hi Pentti

I have an older version - Cakewalk Pro 7, that I've been running on Win 7 & 10 x64 since I upgraded from XP. I discovered that it's important to skip the part where CW asks you if you want to install Direct Show. One time I clicked "yes", and CW installed an ancient version of DS (5.0 or something) which messed up my system quite a bit. I wound up re-installing Windows to fix it. I also run CW in Windows XP compatibility mode, which seems to help. CW still works great, with the exception that every now and then the tool bars get mixed around, but they are easy to straighten up.

I also keep a copy of XP running in virtual machine just in case the day comes when CW really won't run on the latest Win OS.
