Good question.  I've = reinstalled the suite before to fix problems, but I don't recall if I = installed over the old version or did an uninstall.  But, trashing = everything in the apps, Library>Application Support, Receipts, and = Preferences should do it.  Shouldn't hurt and quickest way would be = to just reinstall over the old, and see if your problem = vanishes.

FWIW, I had a DVDSP issue once that even = reinstalling wouldn't fix.  It was an error on build.  I tried = everything with no luck.  I ended up doing part two of a two disk = series in Encore.  Lucky I had it on hand.  But, it forced me = to make an identical menu in Encore using the Encore method of making = menus, which is entirely different, and a bit more = obtuse.

Sad thing is=85 Apple won't be fixing = DVDSP at this = point.
