fm19 genie scout access violation

Apologies if this has been reported but unable to find it anywhere on the forums

was working fine last night, shut my laptop down etc

loaded up today and everytime I try start genie scout a small error box appears (while genie tries to load up extremely slowly).

The message says "access violation at address 009c6c56 in module 'FMGenieScout.exe'. Read of address 00000061"

with the white 'x' on a red circle image next to it.

This error message will continue to repeat and duplicate to infinite until ending genie scout via task manager.

Anyone else got this or had this.

Tried running as admi and re-installing.

Yes, I'm getting exactly the same. When I do eventually get in to scout and upload a save it just locks up and crashes. Tried reinstalling but it doesn't help. Never had any problems in the past with GS.
