PhotoExplorer 8.6 crashing at startup

[rickowen]

I have installed PI 11 and PEX 8.6. PhotoImpact works great. I have not yet been able to use PhotoExplorer. It starts up, displays the "Quick Start" dialog, with "My Pictures" as the default directory behind the dialog. Before I can do anything, PEX says that it needs to close (although it is very sorry about any inconvenience) and that's that. I have tried changing screen resolution without any change in the problem. I have an emachines t3092, with Athlon XP processor, 1gb of memory, 51gbyte of free disk space, nVidian GeForce4 MX GPU built in to the motherboard. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick.
