Shonner, Can you try the same thing, but this time install only the DCG plug-ins, no VectorStyle, no Amapi importer. I've seen this happen a couple of other times. The first time was on the Mac and it was a corrupt preference file, reseting the preference file fixed the problem. The second was a PC, I recommended reseting the preference file and I never heard back if that was the issue or not. If it's not a preference file, I'd like to figure out which specific plug-ins are conflicting. I suspect VectorStyle may be contributing to the problem since one of my beta testers works in Amapi quite a bit and I'm sure has the Amapi importer and all the DCG plug-ins installed.
