Dear All Forgive the off-topic nature of this question but as experienced Lingo developers we should know a fair amount about Director's technical side as well. Basically I've run into a MAJOR problem. From out of nowhere Director 8 will simply not load. I trigger my shortcut and after a few seconds I get Director's error message "A fatal error has occured, Director will quit now". WHY?!?!?!?!? It's not like I've had any major change to my system since it was working - the only thing I've done is installed a new VirusScan DAT and installed Adobe Premiere 6, with the latest QT4 and DirectX bits accordingly. I am completely confused by this - I've uninstalled and reinstalled D8 - nothing - uninstalled, rebooted, defragged then reinstalled - no luck - run virus scan, uninstalled, reinstalled, pulled my hair out - no way. Anything you guys can suggest? Does D8 have a fit with newer versions of QuickTime that it can handle (QT4 has been updated since D8 last worked)? Thanks for your input...
