Re: [Avid-L2] Re: "Avid Editor has stopped working" on Exit

Your monitor theory just might hold some water. The iMac offline station
with the issue I was telling you about is the only offline station of ours
that has a second monitor connected to it. I'll have to pass this info along
to that editor and have him disconnect it for a bit and see if he still gets
the error to occur.

Thanks
