Acid Pro 4.0 Crashes as it loads. -ACID Product Family

Subject:Acid Pro 4.0 Crashes as it loads. Posted by: RedDyeNumber4 Date:5/21/2003 7:55:42 PM I downloaded Acid 4.0 from the official website, and installed it using all the standard preferences. Then, I attempted to run it in demo mode. No Dice. I see the splash screen for startup, then my entire computer freezes and I am forced to shut down. I am runing a laptop with a pentiumIV 2ghz and a Radeon mobility 9000 video card. All my audio & video drivers are up to date, and my direct X is working peachy. I stripped the background programs and services to the bare essentials (Windows XP) and still, every time, it loads the splash screen then crashes and burns like a sonic hindenburg. Is this a Windows XP Problem? or is it an ACID problem (4.0b) I pray there is a super-guru whose attention I have garnered.
