hi
i’m having trouble starting cubase le 1.07 oem. i used to use Cubase on my old Windows XP computer, now is my first time trying to run Cubase since i upgraded to windows 7 64-bit about a year ago. This Cubase version is the software that came with my Presonus Firepod.
first i was unable to install Cubase because it would get stuck at the point where it was installing the “stein__.ttf” font. i read that you can get around this by rebooting your computer in Safe Mode and installing Cubase from there, so i did and it seemed to complete the installation.
now in regular/non-Safe Mode I try to run Cubase but it gets stuck where it says "Initializing: Pentium IV Optimized Data Type Converters (i<–>f), then displays a window “Cubase LE has stopped working” message. I’ve tried removing the “Steinberg” folder from C:\Users{my computer}\AppData\Roaming\ folder. I’ve tried disabling my AVG anti-virus software. I’ve tried running Cubase in Compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows 2000. But it always stops working at the same point of initializing those darn pentium iv optimized data type converters.
i recognize i’m using a very old version of Cubase. before i shell out $ for new recording software, I’d be grateful if anyone familiar with this issue could share their input.
thanks for reading!
