Charles, I'd suggest that you first go back to another project where V-Vocal has worked in the past, and see if it still works. If it still works in older projects, then your problem is caused by a characteristic of your current project. If V-Vocal no longer works in any project, then your display settings have probably been changed in some way. Though all of CakeTalking depends in some part on the exact color and positioning of items on the screen, V-Vocal is extremely sensitive to those things. V-Vocal's interface contains very little of anything that Jaws can see through traditional means. It is the largest custom access job that has ever been produced for CakeTalking. Correct color and position are essential. Be absolutely certain that, in the display control panel, you're still using the Windows classic theme, that window colors and appearance are still using windows classic style, and that the screen resolution is still 1024X768 and 32-bit color. In the system control panel, on the advanced tab, under the performance settings button, be certain that the radio button to adjust for best performance is selected. If V-Vocal still works in old projects, then I'm not sure what could be different about your current project. Perhaps other windows are open that are partially obscuring the V-Vocal window. Try pressing control+tab from the track view to see if any other windows gain focus. If they do, close them. Make sure that the inspector is closed. Also, does this happen when you re-open existing V-Vocal clips, or when you start a new clip? If you accidentally try to open the V-Vocal editor when multiple clips are selected, that can cause strange behavior. If none of this helps, then call me at DD, and I'll tandem in to fix it for you.

First, when I tried to move around the pitch plot, I got a message that said: "Sorry, this function has failed." I have used v-vocal before in other projects without any problems. Do you have any idea of what may be the problem, or how I can fix it? I also noticed something is wrong with the scale selection button. I wanted to correct an entire clip using the G. minor scale. However, after I selected G. Minor, CakeTalking reports that G. major had been selected. This problem only happens with the G. minor scale. Any ideas? PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
