Hi, Greg, I suggest that you run Windows System Restore to take your system back a day or two to when everything worked as it should. Under Windows7: Go to Start Menu Type System Restore Into the search box and press ENTER Tab to Next Tab to checkbox that says show more restore points Tab to list of restore points and find the one you want. Click Next to continue.

Then when I arrow around to do something it says control surface isn't configured yet. I hit control f 12 and it says control surface didn't get installed. I shut sonar down and re open. Again it says control surface ready. This time it allows me to arrow around but when I open a project I was working on just yesterday and press f6, it says I'm working with an un authorized version of cake talking and to contact dancing dots. Shut my whole system down and re start and get the same trouble. Yesterday everything worked just fine. No idea what could have changed. I have someone coming in every day this week starting Monday morning, so I really need some help.
