Re: [Virtools] crashes with the new beta player??

Just finished giving a two hour Dev training session and ran into the same
problem again: 40% of the machines were running the latest version of the
Detonator drivers and all of them had issues with Dev *and* other apps. The
remaining machines had not yet been upgraded and were running perfectly.

Just thought you all might want to know...
