SW08 SP5 was running on my main workstation on thursday.today it will not run. period. kept crashing on startup w/a sw .exeerror. SW09 did run though.

i unistalled both 09 and 08, reintalled 08. now i get anotheruseless error and then it crashes. see image below.

anyone have any thoughts?

is the XP64 version on the DVD the same as the Vista version? myDVD's have no Vista64 specific disk and i thought i would tryinstalling from a DVD rather than the download install.

thanks all
