update:
This is a bug!
Deleting the ‘preference’ folder seems to be the answer on a MAC. As I am on a PC before I move, and attempt to fix this problem, will the aforementioned solution work on a PC?
Edit:
Windows 7?
Registry???
Edit 2:
Uninstall → Reinstall is the answer
At this point, my question is…why? It was solid for a couple of months then all the of the sudden(as described earlier)…poof!
I’m not sure what gets a quicker response; emailing steinberg tech support or posting a thread? I guess only time will tell.
