    Whether in stand alone or within VEP 5, Kontakt will "almost" load an instrument and then crash. Happens with every library.

    I get this message in crash reporter

    Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

    Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
    Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000

    Application Specific Information:
    abort() called
    *** error for object 0x6080002034d0: Heap corruption detected, free list canary is damaged


    I've done disk repairs, restarts. Nothing works. Also some libraries are missing. This started only when I upgraded to 10.9.1 from 10.6.8

    try using the un-installer and completely uninstall kontakt from you pc. and then try a fresh install. may or may not work. then again if it were me..id make sure all my important stuff is backed up and just reformat my computer and start fresh. Ive had a couple problems in the past upgrading OS. Sometimes wiping your computer out and starting fresh can be a good thing. Clears up a lot of junk files you've collected that you don't even know about or ones that have got moved around.

    I assume there isn't a 5.3.1 yet? I keep hearing about 5.3 issues so I've been putting off the update.
