#TOAST EXPRESS CRASHING INSTALL#
Yes I have been caught out and had to do a clean install of the system to fix the issues. Just a little advice when using Techtools deluxe or pro it can have a nasty affect of corrupting some system or even app files. Toast is a great program if and when it works - pretty interface - but I want to do more than look at the install screen. Perhaps 8 & 9 were alpha or bad beta versions but they just forgot to tell us! As you can tell I'm venting and am pretty fed up. I can only come to the conclusion that this is a problem that Roxio must solve because nothing else seems to work except a complete manual uninstall and new install every time I want to burn a disk which seems a stupid waste of time. I have followed the instructions in the Roxio Knowledgebase several times under the title "Toast does not launch or crashes" which is a pretty good description of the problem I am having - minus the shutdown issue.
I have tried disk utilities, Cocktail, OnyX, TechTool, Apple Disk Utilities, cleaned the cache, removed the preferences and the so often my fingertips are sore from the keyboard and my delete key is starting to smoke (not really). I have tried everything suggested by way of a fix as mentioned on the forum. When I next wanted to use Toast it would not work - problem as described above. It worked once! Then I "foolishly" shut down my computer wanting to save electricity and not have my wife moan at me for wasting power. After I had manually removed Toast 8 I installed 9. The only way to shut down is to pull the plug on the power. I force quit and the message disappears but Toast is still there in the background and will not quit and totally prevents shutdown or restart. (the same scenario with 8 and 9, I had to manually removed 8 and reinstalled it - it worked once and the same problem occurred). I check the "force quit applications" window and it tells me Toast is not responding. I try to start it in the normal way and nothing happens. Read the forums and there are many who give similar problem reports that say I'm not alone, but no answers that work for this one.
#TOAST EXPRESS CRASHING UPDATE#
Got latest update still in the hope of a fix. I got 9 in the hope that the upgrade would include a fix.
