Still no joy with Cubase 8.5. The program still refuses to open beyond the vst transit point. with vst transit uninstalled all goes well but I feel there was no point in updating to 8.5 from cubase 5 and my money was wasted as I have reverted to using version 5. I realise that you have run out of ideas to fix this for me as have I and the local computer shop (after more money was spent there), so I guess I won’t be trying to upgrade again.
Sorry guys
