During the installation, there should be a page to select who will be able to use Cubase.  If you select &#8220;Just me,&#8221; then logging in to a different account will prevent you from using Cubase properly.  You can get around this by reinstalling and choosing &#8220;Everyone,&#8221; or logging back in to the original account.<br \/>&#8211; Be sure that you have the latest version of Cubase.

You need to be running Windows XP, and using either the Home or Professional Edition.  Media Center edition is incompatible with Cubase.
