My copy of Rev just crashed and won't launch anymore...

[Mark Schonewille]

Re-install Revolution. Set up all preferences the way you want. 
Quit revolution. Safe the file <your revolution 
folder>/components/save/revpreferences.rev to a different 
folder. It would be safest if you stuff or zip it to make sure 
that you don't accidentally open it.

Whenever Rev gets no further than "loading plugins, menus..." 
remove the file <your revolution 
folder>/components/save/revpreferences.rev and replace it by 
your backup copy.

So far, this always worked for me, if the splash window appeared 
to freeze at "loading plugins, menus...".

Mac users may use AppleScript to automate this.
