[comp.music] Problems with Cakewalk 4.0

lockrey@bclcl1.im.battelle.org (01/09/91)

Hi:
  I just purchased a copy of Cakewalk 4.0 (for IBM PC) and have been
having bad luck with it, especially when reading .MID files. 

   The program gets stack-overflows and heap-memory error messages
at random places, often stops in the middle of a song, and prints
garbage characters on the screen (rather than text)

   I understand that Ver 4.0 is new, but these kind of problems
should not happen.  Yes, I have configured the program correctly, and
the Ver 3.0 (demo) program runs just fine on my system.

   Is anybody else having these type of problems?  Is there an update
release yet?  Should I return it for a refund??

   Thanks for your help..

I know this will seem quite obviuos, but have you called Twelve Tone
systems?  (The manufacturer).  The tech support line will be able
to tell you right away if your problem has been detected on other
machines.
