Could anyone who is running Windows 7 32 bit and is comfortable with regedit, please have a look in your registry and see if you have the following key?

HK-LOCAL_MACHINE_COMPONENTS.

This is part of an ongoing software instal saga.

Thanks

It should be there. It is also part of windows vista.

Thanks, it's not there on mine. From perusing the Windows forums, I am not the only one with this problem. No one seems to know how it happens or how to fix it except a full re-install. As I have a relatively new and sparsely loaded PC, I was going to dip my toe in the water with PC editing/mastering and midi sequencing.

I had bought a Protools MP/Fastrack interface package which could not be installed because of this (and other strange windows problems, notably with Visual C) so I bit the bullet and bought a dedicated MAC and a firewire ext HDD. What a rolls royce compared to my PC. Everything works first time with a minimum of fuss - very streamlined machine. I am up and running and now dabbling, and am mighty impressed so far.
