Re: [Avid-L2] Re: MC Ver 6 Hangs at "Initializing Avid Media Access Volume Manager"

Once it starts hanging, just click on the initial startup window with the
avid logo on it. Then click away from it. I've had the same problem on my
2011 MBP and this seems to "wake it up" so to speak. This also happens
when it says Initializing Audio Plugins on my PCs sometimes. I just click
the avid logo, then windows will say that Avid has stopped responding.
When I continue, Avid wakes up and continues the loading process.
