Hi!
It appears ive messed something up here.
While I wait for support, maybe someone can help:


Platform: XP sp3
Live version: Live Suite 8.2.6 + M4L
Problem: Live shuts down on program launch
What triggered the behavior:
Deleted a few older update instals, but kept 8.2.1 and 8.2.6
Tested solutions:
I tried to uninstall, reboot and re-install 8.2.6, but it still will not launch.
The Live Library from all previous installs are untouched
Possible reasons:
The latest installs was program update only, without content. Its likely I deleted something important. I installed the full version of 8.2.6 with all the content, but it still will not start.

Off the top of my head here - perhaps you could research this more though:

I think 8.2.3 (or around that) had a major change and you NEED it OR you need to download the complete update package.

Since you've uninstalled, I'd say you can solve your problem by downloading the complete package and re-installing. Infact I think it tells you when you are about to download the update which version you need to have (could even be 8.1.3? I think it's got a .3 in it anyway - lol...

I wish you luck - sucks when live won't work!!!

Thanks!!
Yes, I must have uninstaled a nesesary older version. Maybe its 8.2.3.. I did however install the full 8.2.6 version again, but it still will not start the program. Hmm.
