New install. Crashes instantly.

Hi,

I am (finally) a new Max user. Unfortunately, the app crashes immediately on launch on my OSX 10.8.4 laptop. Anyone seen this crash before?

Thanks.

Out of curiosity, what is your hard disk named? E.g. "C74" is a special path name that could lead to this kind of crash.

Ah, very well spotted. It's an encrypted inner volume that appears to be called ":".
I didn't set that up, but I can see it being a problematic string. Thanks for your instant reply!

Excellent! Easy work-around: moved Max to a (sensibly named) DMG container.
Now running. Thanks for your help Joshua.
