    Posted by Clay Stanton on August 1, 2007 at 7:12 pm

    Hi – I have Avid Xpress DV 4.6 on a Dual 1.8 G5 with OS 10.4.9

    I have to Force Quit everytime I wanna exit the application – ie whenever I finish and close the program down it just freezes and does nothing. I can flip to another app, say Safari, and everything else runs fine. Just Avid.

    I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Avid. Twice! No good. Still have to Force Quit everytime. Weird.

    Just wondering if anybody has experienced this or know how I can fix? I dont wanna ask at the Apple forums because they’re really snobby when it comes to Avid. Asked a question once and got yelled at by everyone!

    It might be because you’re running the wrong OS. According to the ReadMe, found here:

    https://www.avid.com/content/6925/README_XpressDV_4_6.pdf

    Xpress DV 4.6 for the Mac runs on 10.3.4 or 10.3.5. Roll back your OS to an approved version and see if it makes a difference. Otherwise, time to upgrade your software or live with the force quit!

    Michael.
