I am trying to install Max7 on a laptop (for live performance of my lovely patches)... but it fails to startup with a stacktrace error pointing to Max's fileref_resolvealias routine, actually inside Carbon code: dying in "CFURL_CreateWithFilesystemRepresentationByAddingPercentEscapes" I have looked for and removed all network aliases I can see on the laptop...no joy. Any ideas where else to look? This did not get far with my initial contact with C74 support: they just got frustrated (with me) and recommended a complete wipe and reinstall on the laptop. I am hoping for a more insightful approach here, ;-)... or just confirmation that I am likely scr**ed... Any ideas? Thanks! CharlieB aka J2K
