Just a word of advice to anyone who is posting on here...

When you have a problem, the key to getting it solved is threefold.

*System Information
*Reproduction
*Clear Explanation

Everyone has a different puter. Add the relevant items - sound card, especially. Include the version of Cool Edit, plug-ins if any, and the version number. Also relevant info - like if you have a video problem, you'd want to list the video card make and model, driver number, etc. Also the version of Windows is helpful.

If you can consistently reproduce your problem, list your steps in such a way that someone who is reading what you write could do it on their machine.

Finally, make a clear explanation. The more description, the better. Although a problem may seem obvious to you, remember, the people reading about your problem aren't able to see it. Be their eyes for them. Nothing is too simple to explain, and it's often in the simple things we take for granted that the root of a problem lies.

Hopefully these steps will assist you before writing a problem here. Remember, it's really likely that someone else has had your problem before. Take a look around, here and the FAQ's. They really do work!
