I installed ASP9 on my iMac-- (separate folder in APPS
)...

Also on that iMac is my copy of ASP8.

After the install --- ASP8 no longer loads properly-- all the menus are frozen-- windows missing-- basically the program no longer works.

(latest Mountain Lion OS)


I didn't have this problem with ASP 7 and ASP 8 residing on the same iMac (running under Snow Leopard)

Anyone else have this problem? (I kept ASP 7 on the iMac as a back up to ASP8, just in case --never needed to revert to it, though)

I kept ASP8 (since all my projects were created with it) and installed the new ASP9---- I was not expecting it would basically kill ASP8.

(I also have ASP9-Debut installed on the Imac---which has caused no problems with my trusty ASP8.)

Is this a know issue with ASP9? That all previous versions must be deleted from the APP folder?

It may be an issue with Mountain Lion. I'm running OSX 10.7.5 on my iMac and ASP 8 still works with ASP 9 installed also. Even ASP 7 works.

Just for clarity, is this the sequence leading up to your problem with ASP 8?:

1) ASP 8 installed - works properly.
2) AS 9 (Debut) installed - ASP 8 still works properly.
3) ASP 9 (Pro) installed - ASP 8 no longer works properly.

If this is indeed the way it happened it sure does sound like ASP 9 is having a direct effect on ASP 8, which is odd. Hopefully someone with Mountain Lion will chime in with their feedback.

Yes this is correct.

I will now put ASP9 on my old back-up iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 that already has:

ASP7
ASP8
and ASP9-debut.

All in separate folders in APPS--- all with no conflicting issues.

I'm a bit hesitant to do this-- since all my important ASP8 projects are sitting on there-- but we might as well make sure it's a Mountian-Lion issue. (I have TimeMachine to resurrect...)

Okay---

installing ASP9 in my iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 did not conflict with ASP8.2 on the same iMac (or my ASP7...)

So, is this a Mountain Lion issue?
Could it be a 32 vs 64 bit issue since my older iMac with Snow-Leopard is a 32-bit intel.

In any case, ASP8 no longer works on my new/faster 64-bit iMac.
So, that's defiantly a problem --especially since there is a major flaw with ASP9 when it comes to PNG files with transparency (such as a sphere)
ASP9 turns them into total unusable junk -- so I need ASP8 to still work for image sequences.

I'll have to remove ASP9 until this is fixed-- a shame because I really like the new features ASP9 offers-- especially with the new TEXT.

I hope this is resolved quickly-- especially the PNG issue.


Here's a pix of that issue... (described in a different post...)

...

I had Pro 8. Upgraded to 9 with Mountain Lion. Pro 8 starts up, but when I try to open a file it says,
"File does not exist". (with 8 only)
Plus, I have 2 other issues that can't be resolved yet with #9
