I think you will have to give more info, especially on the exception message, i.e

1. What is the error message?
2. Have you got any other music software installed?
3. Did you use any plug-ins in version 4 or 5
4. Have you installed the latest service packs?
5. What directx have you got installed?
6. Did you install the upgrade over version 5?
7. Did you install the upgrade after uninstalling the earlier versions?
8. Do you use any third party vst's, freeware, shareware or retail?
9. etc..

Usually if all else fails backup then, reformat and reinstall.
