Retrospect will not run

[tgerke]

After I install Retrospect 6.0, I restart the machine as instructed and then try to start Retrospect and it crashes. I am running XServe G5 with 10.4.4. I don't get any messages or anything, it just won't start. I get the following excerpt from the crash log:

Any help would be appreciated.

hi t,

 

yes, you are correct. none of the 6.0 versions will run on tiger.

 

you need to upgrade for free to 6.1.126:

I had the same problem: installed Retrospect Express from the CD, downloaded and installed the latest driver update, and still, Retrospect crashes every time I try to start it. I have even gone so far as to uninstall everything I can find, reinstall it (meanwhile also reformatting the external drive and doing everything in the proper order) and I still can't get Retrospect to run. Any thoughts? Do I have a lemon copy of Retrospect? (PS I am running Tiger 10.4.4 and trying to use a Firewire Maxtor OneTouchII drive.)

hi jn,

 

what version are you trying to run? you should be running 6.1.126 with tiger. not just the latest driver updates with whatever shipped on the CD.
