And now after Fing around for an hour and making the new user settings so I could export my current project I toggle back to my normal settings and they work without issue or stall as they are reading. Man the cyber Gods are after me today.

I will start by saying I know it's best practices to always rebuild your user settings with point releases etc... I've often posted I never do that and with the exception of the safe title grid I've never had any issues with importing my old settings into new builds. Well now on my home system with no updates to anything all of a sudden launching avid stalls at reading my user setting. I had a few startup hiccups first getting my computer to boot up but once booted I could launch Avid but not with my normal user settings. Oh well I figure they got corrupted so I went to a back up copy on another startup drive and still the same stall. I even went to my backup usb flash drive that I've loaded all over town and it does the same stall. I've tried both trashing and reimporting the backups and just dragging them into the Avid Users folder where the normal one resides.
I then uninstalled and reinstalled Avid but still the stall. I can open with the admin user but as soon as I try to switch to my normal and or reimported backups of my user I still get a stall. I then went to my startup drive backups and pulled the user setting from 2 months ago that worked then when I carbon copy cloned the drive I'm using now and that has worked fine with this user setting for the past two month.
So what gives? I reinstalled Avid and I re imported several different backups of my user settings but it still hangs. I ultimately created a new user and imported my keyboard settings from the old user that stalls. Those imported settings all work. I know I've lived on the Wild side not rebuilding from scratch all this time but I can't explain why if the settings that worked last night are corrupt how restoring them from a backup made two months ago would not work.
Having read in the recent thread about the applications manager possibly causing updating Avid issues when I reinstalled Avid I did it from a .dmg I download from the download center for Ver. 8.3.1.347 ish IIRC. I will have to go back to another startup drive and see if my old settings work there. I can't see why they wouldn't but that has an earlier version of Avid.
