    Exclamation Xtreme won't open (help, please)

    I can't get Xara Xtreme to open! As soon as I try, I get this message:


    Xara Xtreme has encountered a problem and needs to
    close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    Please tell Microsoft about this problem.......
    I can still get XaraX1 to work, but not Xtreme. Any suggestions - should
    I try uninstalling and then reinstalling?

    Thanks for any help.

    elgi,

    I know you are frustrated... And this one (my) reply probably won't solve your problem... On the other hand, when thousands upon thousands of people don't have the problem you describe - it's probably something to do with your machine... Often it's something completely silly:

    - Turn off all virus, spyware (in general - all monitoring software) before installing...

    - If running Vista - make sure you install as the admin of the PC...

    - If it was working before and suddenly stopped: look to what else you have installed to mess things up...

    In general, re-installing and setting up Xara software takes less time than making a cup of tea! Give it a go if all else fails...

    If nothing here works - let people know exactly what version of Xara you are running, and what OS you have installed.

    There are a lot more clever people than me here to get you back where you are supposed to be. Just kick-starting your thread.

    Thanks Risto,
    I guess it wasn't that big of a deal to uninstall/reinstall. I was just a bit in
    panic mode and didn't want to overdo something. Usually when I have
    problems with something, my solution of last resort is to do a restore, but
    that did not "fix" the problem this time. Okay, I did the uninstall/reinstall and
    am now back in 'business'. Thanks for the bit of encouragement, and yes, it
    took about as long a brewing a cup of tea. lol
