New Update 317 hopefully gets around some pesky “nilobjectexception” errors.
You need to install the original version from the September 2010 PC User cover disc, then install this update afterwards. It doesn’t affect any presets/profiles you may have added prior to installing the update.

You can grab the update here.

What I didn’t discover until now is a nice big fat bug that only turns up in a series of events that shouldn’t have happened but did.
So, what I’m doing is providing a bug fix for the September 2010 issue version.
