Character Animator freezes at launch

Hi, after a couple of frustrating days I am reaching out!  I have exhausted the forums (I think!) and have tried all the usual rebooting, uninstalling, opening from different locations etc.  I saw a problem in another thread that had a problem with the AppPrefs.xml, and saw the following in the Sample Process that I ran:-

Attemptying to Copy from /Users/X/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Character Animator/1.1/AppPrefs.xml to /Users/X/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Character Animator/1.5/AppPrefs.xml

<140735153242112> <MigratePrefs> <5> Copy Failed

I could not find the file AppPrefs.xml

I also checked file and folder permissions as suggested in another thread.  I am an artist and can noodle around behind the scenes but am not really sure what to take from the diagnostics reports.  I have included the terminal report and I can link to the Debug Database and the Sample Process also.

This is the info on my computer.  I was worried about enough RAM but have not seen any warnings about that.  Can anyone help me!!??
