Hi, I'm receiving the following message in the max window on launching the application... anyone know what I can do to fix it?

sqlite: error opening db - unable to open database

It just fills the window, and quitting the app causes a crash

thanks

I should add its not permissions, apparently

---Make sure your HD name has only alphanumeric characters. No "/" , etc.

--Try a clean install + trash preferences

Assuming you're on MacOS, remove these items:

1. ~/Library/Preferences/Max5 Preferences Folder
2. /Applications/Max5

Then download and reinstall the latest Max 5 release

If still no luck, send a note in to support

Hi,

Jut occurred to me I'd forgotten to reply.

Yeah, i did the usual plists and permissions, blah blah.

It actually turned out my drive was corrupt, and a fresh OS install was the only thing that fixed it :/

all sorted now though, thanks for your reply
