Its driving me nuts...its "Initialization Error Code -7" and then "the application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000142" I would really like to get this up and running so I can use it for church tomorrow, but I've tried everything and Google searched to no avail. I'll be calling Avid as soon as I am out of class....I figured I'd check with you guys first though...and tips or possible fixes?
