1. Choose Start| Run, and type regedit. Click Ok.
2. Backup your registry by choosing File > Export. Choose an Export Range of 'All' and save the files as 'backup' to floppy disk.

4. Delete all folder labeled Toolbar. DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING ELSE!
5. Close the Registry Editor,and restart your computer.
6. Now launch Cakewalk and the Problem should be resolved.
