VSX5 PRO unable to launch - possible solution

[bartezz]

about a week ago I suddenly could not start VS X5 anymore, the program ran into an unspecified error and aborted.

- I did a virus scan, did the manual removal, cleaning of the registry and reinstalling of the program, but the problem persisted.
- Strangely this problem also occured with Videostudio X3 which I still had on my computer.

Ultimately I read this solution with solved it for me, the problem was caused by a program called Browser Protect (or in the help topic Browser Manager):

On my computer the program that caused the problem was called Browser Protect instead of Browser Manager. But by removing it the problem was solved and VS X5 now works as usual.

I would like to point out this solution since:
a) I notice similar posts about this problem
b) the program Browser Protect not intentionally installed by me, probably was a more hidden option, I was not aware of this program at all so would never see it as the cause

Hopefully this helps more people
