Open ST2.2.1.1 from the desktop and an existing file. Select Flare and start adjusting sliders. Sooner or later ST2 closes with the error below. The same happens opening from LR or PS so is not image file format related. I know people say the error code is a Windows one. But what triggers it must be topaz somehow. I know others reported this some time ago.
