I updated SDC this morning on a Win2K rig that had an existing SDC version which was relatively old (but still 2.x). After the mandatory reboot, SDC crashes on launch, triggers a Dr. Watson message and closes.
Strangely enough, I later launced SDC on my XP rig at work and got the nice MS error report message and SDC closed. I had updated SDC on the XP rig 1 or 2 days ago and had been running SDC without any problems until the first launch today.
I had another Win2K rig with an older version of SDC on it, so I decided I'd try updating that one to see if the same crash would occur. After reboot, SDC opens normally without crashing on that rig, but it defaults to the News section each time it's launched, despite having the "remember settings" option selected and closing it while in Object Desktop view.
I'm a bit stumped - now have 2 rigs on which SDC won't launch. Newsgroup server appears to be down, too - I was going to uninstall SDC, download the latest downloadable installer & let it update again, but can't for now.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers,
