initializing.....
Hello,<br>I have been using Elan for two years now, and a couple of days ago I started experiencing a problem. When I go to open an Elan file, it starts initializing.... and then doesn't progress. It just remains in the initializing phase, and the file doesn't open. I thought that my version of Elan was perhaps too old, so I downloaded the new version 3.8 of Elan, but I still have this same problem. Could you please offer me any advice on how to fix this problem?<br>I saw that someone else in the forum also had an 'initializing' problem, but didn't see that any written advice on how to fix it. <br>Many thanks in advance,<br>Mark<br>
Re: initializing.....
When opening a file stops in the initializing phase, this is usually due to a (unreported) problem with the media player.
You can check this in the logfile: try to open the file until it stop in initializing, exit ELAN, check the log file for error messages at the end. The log file is in <user_home>\.elan_data\elan0.log or, on the Mac, <user_home>/Library/Preferences/ELAN/elan0.log.

I'm having the same problem, but I'm afraid that I don't understand where to find the log file. Is it in one of the files that appeared when I downloaded the program?<br><br>Thanks.<br>
