Acid Pro 8 stuck on "creating Child Windows"

Acid Pro 8 crashes and gets stuck on "creating child windows" when loading. After uninstalling and reinstalling, it loaded and ran for about 2 hours until it crashed and now will not load again while "creating child windows". Is there a patch that will fix this problem??

 I have the 8.0.8 build 29 version of Acid Pro running on a Windows 10 laptop with 2.3Ghz i5 processor and 16g RAM.

 the only real fix for this is to go to folder options and check the box called, "show hidden files". then go to C:\Documents and Settings\*username\Application Data\magix\acid Pro\8.0 and delete the                           ExplorerFavorites.txt   file.

 

Acid searches for current project data on start up..if something has been moved or missing ..for instance tracks on an external drive were used and now this is unplugged acid will keep looking
