I have the same problem. Have the free version with the ur44 and I have not got this to work in 2 weeks. In the windows visual setting I can’t find all the setting they said to check mark. If you found a way to make yours work, would you please advise me how you did it. Thanks Bob.

If you have Aero themes in place after following the sequence below (I’m in Win7), then you should reinstall Cubase and things will work.

Control Panel>Display>Personalization>Aero Themes.

I had something similar happen about a month ago. Cubase wouldn’t launch saying I wasn’t running an Aero Theme. Went to Control Panel and saw that my custom theme, which is Aero, was selected but Windows didn’t think it was Aero. Selected one of Windows’ own Aero themes which it still thought wasn’t Aero (urghhhhh!). Several theme changes and reboots later Windows finally thought Aero was Aero and Cubase launched fine. Never really figured out what was going on.

right click my computer, properties, advanced system settings, performance tab, press adjust for best performance, the press adjust for best appearance. Cubase will open with areo theme now.
