Thanks…Peter…
I just tried two things this evening and that worked!
I got info from a cow post and disabled the UAC (i.e the user activation control in CPanel..in my Win 7 pro) and then searched index through the drive that contained OS and programme files.
Then relaunched Avid and it came out perfect. I remained busy consolidating some sequences and couldn’t let the cow forum know my solution!
Anyway thanks…I got the info from a cow post….thanks again!
