Lacerte locking up

When I am looking at a tax form and click on the green "Statement" next to a particular line, the statement does not come up and then the entire program locks up.

2019 or 2020?

Try rebooting. 

Try re-installing via WebSetUp

It's 2019.  I've rebooted and reinstalled.

There's something new this year called Lacerte Tools Hub that supposedly works wonders with all sorts of installation issues.  I haven't tried it, as my AV software thinks it has a virus and I haven't worked thru the solution.  

Try it, or call Lacerte support.

OR - as an afterthought, make sure all Win10 updates are current.  I've heard of issues if not.

The linked ↑ Help Article ↑ comes with this warning which is never a good sign, "Before you begin: Back up your registry before attempting to do anything in it."
