No answer here but same prob here (on iMac desktop).
I have tried everything I know (but a ‘nuke and pave’,
which I will probably end up doing next week).
That being said:
1-C8 will run perfectly on my desktop if I start it in ‘Safe Start Mode’.
2-C8 starts and runs perfectly on a new laptop (see sig)
which leads me to believe that there is something on my desktop
that is causing this but I just cannot find it.
So the next step is the aforementioned ‘nuke and pave’.
Truth is I do not want to do the N&K because all my other Cubase
products (C5.5/C6.5/C7.5) still work fine on this ax and because of
all the 3rd party stuff that would also have to be re-installed.
Bottom line is;
I cannot yet use C8 with clients because of this ‘crash on start-up’ situation.
By some kind of miracle , today i started Cubase 64 bit and it works
The bad news is i have no idea how it fixed itself in the end… I didnt change a thing
I hope you got yours running as well man!
