Welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users community @Ninian,
What version of Sound Forge do you have and what is the specific error message.

Hi and thanks for your quick reply. I've just bought Soundforge Audio Cleaning Lab4. It won't launch and I get the error message 'mfc140u.dll was not found'. I've done some more research and it looks as though the problem is to do with a missing dll file in Windows, so I will have to pursue that avenue. I'll let you know. Thanks again.

Hi

Check that you have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable installed and it is up to date.

To repair the C++ installation, see this article on fixing the issue, you must download and install both the x86 and x64 versions.

@robert-watson1528

Your post has nothing whatsoever to do with the question asked by the original poster and so is considered as hijacking. If you wish to receive advice and help from fellow-users (there are no Magix staff present here and personal data, like phone numbers, should never be included in any post) please create a new thread in the future.

In this case I will leave your post visible and simply point you to https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/activation-of-sony-creative-software-era-applications--149297/ where you will find the procedure to activate your software.
