Hi Hoping this is a simple solution that I have over looked. I needed to reformat my laptop. So have installed Win 8.1 Pro (same as my desktop computer) and then installed TMG V9.05 as usual, did restore from my most current backup. All is well except for opening the Exhibit Log or accessing any of the photos stored in the exhibit folder. So cannot add a new photo or edit an existing one. Eg. When going into an existing Tag for a person, and hitting on the Exhibit Log icon on the top right hand, TMG freezes and the only way out is to go to Task Manager and close TMG that way. Same occurs if double clicking on an existing photo sitting in the Image window. Have uninstalled and reinstalled TMG a number of times. Run all the maintenance files. (and rebooted not just restart each time) The PDF printer is installed, and if I run a report to view, eg. Individual narrative - it includes the exhibits for that person no problems. Paths are set correctly in all areas under preferences. Exhibits are external, but housed in the TMG Folder called exhibits - all exhibits are showing in there as well and I can double click on any one of them to open it up outside of TMG. Any ideas on how to overcome this issue would be appreciated, as I have not come across this problem before. I have looked on the TMG forum and not found the same error.
