Greg, sometimes Sonar doesn't exit properly. You can kill off the Sonarpdr process in the tasc manager. You can open the tasc manager with Control Alt Delete. Then, go to the process tab and kill it there.

Earlier today, it insisted I was on bar 34 no matter where I went in the project. Closing and re opening didn't fix anything, only restarting the computer worked. This was happening to me in sonar 7 as well. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? I sure do like all the new sounds in dimension. I also notice in the new template, there are just three busses, Master metronome and one for effects. I'm not sure why I'd want a bus for metranome. To control the volume for audio maybe? could someone enlighten me?
