Program will not start

I have installed this twice and it will work for several weeks or months and then begin freezing up when we try to start/open the program. We are using Xara Photo & Graphics Designer we purchased not more than a couple years ago. Help please as we can't use this product and may need a refund if we can't open the software. We don't use this software a lot, but it becomes important when we need it like right now and I have to wait for a tech support response.

Hi

. . . . We are using Xara Photo & Graphics Designer we purchased not more than a couple years ago. Help please as we can't use this product and may need a refund if we can't open the software.  . . . .

Assuming you are still using the version you originally purchased - you are well outside the refund period.

We need more information:

  1. computer specification, Windows version and build - see this topic for details of what is required
  2. Xara Photo & Graphics Designer version number as found under Help, About
  3. Are you getting any error messages? If so quote them in full.
  4. Is your Antivirus blocking the program from running.
