I have checked my internet settings and all are as you describe. I also checked my firewall and the SoundForge installer has full permissions on any port(s). As far as Internet Explorer... it is now Microsoft Edge. (Note: I had Edge set as my default browser and changed to Chrome as the default browser, and it made no difference.) But I tried to do the things you described in the help note, but the instructions do not pertain to Edge and I was not able to find "similar" settings. I tried to poke around but was not able to find anything. My version of Sound Forge is 7.0 and my keys are as follows:
Sound Forge 7.0: Removed by Moderator
CD Architect 5.0: Removed by Moderator
Noise Reduction: Removed by Moderator
I am using the soudforgepro_11.0.234_3355237305.exe installer.
I am running Window 10. I am running on a PC with an Intel Core I5-25000K CPU, 3.30 GHz, and 16 GM of RAM. I have run Sound Forge on this computer before with no issues.
Can you please help me get the software installed.
Thank you so much, David
