The following error message can be displayed: "This program unexpectedly quit, other programs have not been effected ". In some cases, Director freezes while displaying the startup page. This only occurs on Director MX 2004 running on Apple Macintosh OS X v 10.2 and above. The crash is due to a bug in the FlashAsset Xtra (Ref. 163869). Solution Deleting the preference file allows Director to create a new preference file, and this should fix the problem. The preference file called "com.macromedia.DirectorMX2004.plist" is located under the users folder. I even tried it twice. Unfortunately, it was ineffective..... :-( regards, Trevor
