I updated to 8.7 the other day and I have only been able to open it twice and now it crashes all the time and I CAN’T WON’T OPEN OR IT OPENS THEN CRASHES!!! I get a “Problem Details and System Configuration”.

I am running an older Mac (iMac 24-inch, Early 2009)  
with OS X El Capitan (that’s the max that it can upgrade to). It worked great BEFORE I did the update!  
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP! I need this issue to be fixed ASAP!

> RapidWeaver release notes, including links to download every version of RapidWeaver since 2004.

Just walk down the post, try each thing in order. I suspect this will help a lot of people. For those that it doesn’t help, it shows you how to get individualized support about your…
