Hello and Merry Christmas, Just got home from a long Christmas eve at work (retail) and downloaded the .exe file. I ran the file and when it ask to scan the drives for files, I clicked okay. Then when it launched, I got the hourglass on my mouse and then it went away. I restarted my computer and tried again. Same thing, Studio starts up, I get the scene, but the pointer stays on the "hourglass" for about ten seconds then the program closes. Anyone else have this problem?? Correction: (long day) the first time it launched after install, it just froze up and then closed. No hourglass I still haven't gotten it to launch. I have a P4, with plenty of ram and all that, so I don't know what could be the problem. Got to go to sleep before Santa gets here. Bill
