I know this is an old thread on what appears to be an on-going issue, but I just wanted to add I’m having issues too…with both HALion Sonic SE 3 and Padshop Pro…both won’t even start and I’ve even tried formatting my drive and doing a full clean reinstall of Windows 7, but no joy…these programs just seem to have stopped working for some reason that’s beyond me!
I paid for the upgrade to Padshop 2, but have never even used it, which is a shame, as I was a really happy fan of the old Padshop…but looking over this forum and the amount of posts for help that haven’t even received a reply isn’t encouraging and Steinberg has lost me as a customer…not happy at all with them and there’s no way in hell I would ever recommend them or their products to anyone anymore…and they only have themselves to blame for that!
It’s such a shame to see one of the oldest and most trusted software produces reduced to this level of crap support and follow-through on faults and issues with their products!
Shame on all of you!
