    I have trashed my FCP becauuse when it starts up it goes to the no external divice attached window, then i go continue and it just doesn’t start up. My computer crashed a few day’s ago and it’s FCP has never been the same. All other sofware is fine.
    I have tried to reinstall the software but when I am doing it, it goes to the upgrade menu when I need a full reinstall. Has anyone got any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?
    Cheers

    Specs of the machine?

    Did you just update, install anything? Repair permissions?

    Thanks

    Did you repair permissions?

    Do a little cleaning up then try.

    Did you install any new software?

    Have you upgraded everything that needs to be?

    Not sure what you know,. just throwing things out there.

    No, I did buy a new Lacie drive and it completely blew when this happened. I now have to pay to retrieve the data from it. When you want get a program off your machine is there a special way of doing it? I’ve cleaned up to the best of my abilities. Thanks for your help
