Crashes every time I try to load it

Hello,

I am trying to access Soundforge Pro 11, which I have used for years. For the past 6 months or so however, the program hangs on "initializing audio engine" and then immediately crashes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, my audio drivers, everything I can think of.

I use a focusrite scarlett solo mixer in order to play and record audio from my computer. (Which I have also uninstalled and reinstalled) Which is working well, and I can record on other programs without issue (such as Vegas).I've tried everything I can possibly think of.

I'm not even sure what to try next.

Thank you for your time.

I found a possible solution here:

Hold CNTRL + Shift and double click on the Sound Forge startup icon.  It will ask 'Do you want to reset all Sound Forge Pro preferences to default values?  You should check the box that says 'Delete all cached application data' and then click 'Yes'.  Then try again to open the program.
