I recreated the four characters that my group has been playing last night, and was tweaking them and getting ready to print them out today when the program crashed o desktop. I rebooted my computer and tried to open the program and it stuck on the very first welcome screen (small blue window with "Dungeons & Dragons Character Builder"). After waiting a while I opened Task Manager and the entry for the DDCB read "Please wait while the application opens." So I uninstalled and downloaded and installed the Demo that's currently on the DDI site and am having the same issue. This time it goes to the Get Update screen, and since I have not subscribed yet I click "Launch Character Builder" and that's where it gets stuck. I also re-installed .net 3.5 sp1 with no luck. Currently running Windows XP Pro 2002 sp3 on a Macbook Pro through Bootcamp - I'm not sure what other information would be helpful. Thanks! The Character Sheet Viewer that came with the Demo works just fine, so at least I can print the characters I had been working on.
