I'm DISAPPOINTED in the new version that looked so promising:

     I Select the DS-start-up Icon.

     The DS splash screen comes up.

     Grey panels appear consistent with program layout startup but virtually no text.

     A message appears VERY briefly at bottom of screen "Unable to open file. Please attempt File -> Recover".

     The screen reverts to my desktop

But I have no idea how to follow the recover procedure since I can not start the program.

I'll have to return to V1R2.1 until I can resolve this issue.

EDIT: 14:30

Then I found I could not run the earlier version either ! ! ! ! ! !

Fortunately, a reinstall-repair brought things back to what they were before I started the upgrade install about 2 hours ago -- and I've still got all my customisations.

Let me know if you need the installation file for the earlier version and I'll post it in my google drop-box.
