Very disappointing.

Did you actually install the update you bought? The crash log shows you are still running 8.5

Thanks - it was a patch to make the 8.5 run, as I understand it - thanks! Tim

But no such patch would be for sale by Steinberg.

Steve - you are right - I was trying to load the wrong (old) programme.

Now I have removed that from Dock I have succeeded in opening.

Thanks for the steer.
