Good day. I launch Elements Organiser 15. The catalogue is loaded. It looks alright then the program promptly cycles off. I have reinstalled organiser. And rebuilt another catalogue. No luck. It is a rather big catalogue. Any ideas

    Are you receiving any error messages or crash reporter dialogs?

    Try deleting the preferences file by holding down Alt+Ctrl+Shift before launching the Organizer. The following dialog will come up and you should select "yes". 

    How large is the catalog?  (It shouldn't make a difference.)

    Have you tried repairing or optimizing the catalog?  Hold Shift while launching the Organizer.  It will bring up the catalog manager and you can use it to perform these tasks.

    I had tried optimising and repairing the catalogue file. I have tried, just now, deleting the settings file. No joy
