Expression Offline crashes trying to load a show file

We have an ION and an Express 48/96, using both for teaching, doing shows in our black box and other venues, etc.

I have been using the Expression Offline editor for a while.  It is particularly useful for copying patching information between the consoles using ASCII Import/Export features of the offline editors for both consoles.

Recently, however, the Expression Offline Editor (3.11) crashes any time I try to load a show, either from my hard disk or using a USB floppy drive. This happens both on my desktop and on my Macbook running Bootcamp.

I can't trace exactly when this started happening, but I suspect it might have something to do with recent updates to Windows 10.

Has anyone else run into this or - better yet - found a work-around.

Thanks,

Paul Court
