    Nope that didnt work...On XP if I right click on DS icon and run as...I can get DS to open...But and I mean BUTT...It doesnt load Genesis and or my default setup...I open a saved Genesis scene and genesis loads as a Boxed person and all geometry is screwed up....

    This isnt cool...Does anyone use DS on a Laptop and not in a wifi or connected to the internet...?

    Sounds like it's not finding the Data files. Where is your content installed?

    Very odd -- shouldn't make a difference if you're networked or not as long as the content is local. Can you post the last 20 lines or so from the log?

    Well finally figured out what was happening...

    The 2 new Hair Plugins were the last plugins to load and it was LAMH or Garabaldi that crashed DS4.5...I deleted the Plugins and hey whoa and behold DS4.5 loads up now...

    Garabaldi I betatested and didnt buy but I bought LAMH so I am thinking the timed out Beta version of Garabaldi caused the Problem....

    Ironically I have just re-installed/registered LAMH on a new computer. Process went as sweet as a nut. Sadly, loading a preset/project now locks up and then crashes DS :(

    An immediate crash usually a problem with the graphics card.
