Thanks so much for your thoughtful help. However Adobe finally admitted
that there program did not support my video card ATI Radeon 5770, and that
this has now been fixed with the new cc update earlier this week. It
appears to be working though even since then I have had one major crash
where fortunately it auto saved a copy during the process of auto shutdown.
Again thanks for your help it is much appreciated, and know there are
others out there who are concerned and helpful.
