What do to if SmartSound doesn't appear in Studio 11

This tip might help you if:

• Studio 10 and Studio 11 are both installed but SmartSound is not available in Studio 11 while it works perfectly with Studio 10
• You uninstalled Studio 10, taking care to keep SmartSound but it is not available in Studio 11 (only Scorefitter ™)
• You uninstalled Studio 10 and SmartSound but in the end you still want to have it in Studio 11

Solution:

1. Exit Studio, as well as any other program possibly open
2. Make sure that you have sufficient rights to update the system
3. Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs: Delete "SmartSound Quicktracks Plugin"
4. Put the installation disk No. 1 or 2 of Studio 10 (depending the version Studio you have), and view the contents of the directory SmartSound
5. Start "Quicktracks Install" to install the "SmartSound Quicktracks Plugin"
6. Start "SmartSound Pinnacle Music" to unpack the music

SmartSound is now available in Studio 11. Do NOT apply the update "Quicktracks Updater Version 3060" which you would possibly possess.SmartSound would not appear in Studio 11.

Note: If this tip doesn't work, try to remove all occurences of the SmartSound key D4ADF7A47D4F94A439A460D6954AC3E7 which is located at several places in the Windows Registry. Then repeat all steps listed in above solution. Warning, do not attempt to update the Registry if you don't feel comfortable. Can make the system unstable.
Do *not* use the patch from the smartsounds web site, it adds more trouble.

Warning (note from Buddy - see comments below): if you have any other video programs installed on the same machine you will lose Smart Sound if those programs also use smartsound. Example: Studio 12 Ultimate and Ulead Video on same computer. Studio 12 loaded first and SmartSound is lost when upgraded from 10. Load Ulead on computer and SmartSound is active. Following this tip and SmartSound is now available on Studio 12, as well as on Ulead but all loaded SmartSound didn't show up on Ulead. SmartSound wouldn't work with Studio 12 after loading Ulead but was available with Ulead. The bottom line is that if you load any other program over Studio you take the chance of Studio losing the SmartSound because the other programs write over the SS installer. The only program I have found that doesn't screw up SmartSound is Sonic Fire Pro.
