Thanks Chris…
I will get this done tomorrow.
I can only believe that the folder would be deleted upon replacement of the old win7 OS SSD and the subsequent re-format of the Cubase 7 separate storage SSD… I was very surprised to see Cubase start up after the ONLY source of it remaining should have been project folders in another project hard drive and some sounds on another hard drive.
I did re-install as mentioned believing that the new install of C7 would build this file over again but thinking back to the sequence between install on the “ghost” startup…it likely had something somewhere.
I will follow this procedure and post the result later tomorrow…THANK YOU AGAIN…AL
