Reinstall Logic after installing the operating system. If the problem still persists, a hardware conflict, or conflict between the program and the operating system is the most likely situation. If the problem only occurs with a specific program, you will need to get in touch with the software manufacturer. If the problem lies with Logic, please contact AppleCare. AppleCare Support can be reached online at http://www.apple.com/support/logic.

If the problem occurs with several applications, you will need to get in touch with your computer dealer.
