Cubase 6 crashing won't load up anymore

I just updated to PLAY4.0 from PLAY 3. When I say ‘just’ I mean right now, everything was fine yesterday I finished a project and I thought that now would be a good time to update but all of a sudden I can’t seem to open cubase 6. it keeps on crashing before it even begins. Why is this happening now?? :angry: I did not think updating a Virtual instrument program like PLAY4 would break another program like cubase.

Like I said something has happened as it was working fine yesterday. Now I don’t know what to do.

I use a mac with os 10.6.8

here is part of the log

Can anyone please help with this

I use VE pro as well 64bit

Thank you

Went back to PLAY 3 cubase 6 now loads. I concluded that updating to PLAY 4 has somehow created a major conflict of some sort though I could be wrong would anyone like to shed some light.

Thanks

Hi,
i’m experiencing exactly the same problem. Works in 32 bit mode but doesn’t in 64 bit mode (Mac 10.6.8 Cubase 6.5.5 or 7.0.5)
How did you revert to PLAY 3 ?
Here, i uninstalled PLAY 4 with their uninstaller, re-installed 3.0.47 but it isn’t fixed. Cubase crashes at the same moment of startup.
