Re: my BCF2000 stopped working with Sonar5

FIX IT!

As I thought I has screwed up the Mackie Control properties (think I 
pressed the Configure Layout button and screwed something up). I went 
to C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Surfaces and renamed the 
MackieControl.ini to MackieControl_old.ini so it would be ignored. I 
then restarted Sonar and it worked.
