@APro

I would suggest that you download the full version of [RW 6.3.8 here](http://realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/releasenotes/), install it overtop of Rw 6.3.7 and see if that resolves the issues.

The only other thing I can think of is do you have any disk cleaning utilities installed, those are known to cause issues with RapidWeaver.

Lastly, what did you install prior to the issue happening?

Hope that helps in some little way  
Brad

Thank you so much Turtle. Seems as if it works with an overtop installation! You made my day 😁
