I used to run Cakewalk 3.0 music sequencing software on my old 446 machine
running Windows 95.
I now have it installed on my Celeron PC running on Windows XP. It works
just fine there too.
In betweeen, I installed it on a Pentium II (or was it III?) machine running
Windows 98. It worked fine there too.
Here's the problem: I recently tried to install Cakewalk on my OFFICE
computer, which still runs on Windows 98. It installed all right. But when I
launched the program I got this error msg: "Cannot add the Staff View musical
symbol font."
I'm not sure what that error means, but I can sure see the results.
On the screen, in all the places where I would expect to see music symbols
(notes, rests, time signatures, etc.) I get goofy symbols (squares, diamonds,
scissors, etc.).
I tried reinstalling the software. Same results.
I tried installing the software on another office machine also running on
Windows 98. Same results.
Thinking the program disk might have been corrupted, I made a copy of the
software from my working machine at home and tried installing it. Same
results.
No music. Just "ERROR: Cannot add the Staff View musical symbol font."
Here's what is maddening: Cakewalk worked just fine an MY old Windows 98
machine.
Here's the difference (I think): When I got my Windows 98 machine I copied
the ENTIRE hard drive from my old Windows 95 machine to my then-new Windows
98 machine. I didn't re-install any of the software.
I figure some file, some patch, some SOMETHING came over in the transfer ...
something that is needed so that Cakewalk CAN add the Staff View Musical
symbol font.
In case it helps, I believe I have correctly identified the file which
contains the musical symbol font. It's called "TTSNOTE.TTR" [and it's
accompanied by files called "TTSNOTE.FOR" and "TTSSEQ.INI" and "TTSSEQ40dll"
-- I'm not sure what they do].
What could I add, delete or change on the Windows 98 machine at work so that
it WILL add the Staff View musical symbol font? so that I see notes, rests,
time signatures, etc. instead of squares, diamonds, and scissors?
