adobe audition direct2d drawbot error

I get the following error when I try to do almost *anything* in Audition - rendering it useless.

I'd be very grateful if anyone had a solution or even some further info on how to fix this. I'm on a Windows PC - 64bit.

Thanks

      Could it also possibly be a graphics card and/or driver problem? Perhaps if you are running the latest version of Audition it would be worth turning on or off the 'Use hardware acceleration for drawing' option in Audition's General preferences page.

      May I have a way to cure the fever?

      That's really a Windows API error (that's what the Drawbot is), not an Audition one. But that doesn't directly make it either Windows or Adobe's fault; in fact it's rather hard to tell at all. There are ways to reinstall it, according to M$, but I get the impression that if it isn't present, Adobe should install it anyway as part of a normal installation process. So it might be broken...

      Initially, I'd uninstall and reinstall Audition. If that doesn't fix it, then you have to look a little more closely at a Microsoft solution.
