Default Xpand.dat Gone/Xpand Crashes PT 7.4

Upgraded to 7.4 today. All kinds of problems. Latest:

Xpand.dat file is gone, not anywhere
Xpand crashes PT when I click on it in a session

Did a Digi search to no avail. Anyone? Time to go back to 7.3 (which worked flawlessly)??

If I remember correctly you're running a Window-based system, that Xpand! .dat file directory by default should be Program Files\Digidesign\Xpand!

To set a user defined content location download the Xpand! Set Content Location

Located at the bottom of this Xpand! 1.0.1 Updater for Mac OS X 10.4 (PPC) & Windows XP drop down list.

found the Xpand.dat file by accident (it never showed up in a file search) did some things and got it in the right place. PT does not crash now. That was the secret. No dat file = PT crash. This drove me crazy.

I'm going to take my Xanax now!

thanks for your help :)
