    When I am looking at a tax form and click on the green "Statement" next to a particular line, the statement does not come up and then the entire program locks up.

    2019 or 2020?

    Try rebooting. 

    Try re-installing via WebSetUp

    It's 2019.  I've rebooted and reinstalled.

    There's something new this year called Lacerte Tools Hub that supposedly works wonders with all sorts of installation issues.  I haven't tried it, as my AV software thinks it has a virus and I haven't worked thru the solution.  

    Try it, or call Lacerte support.

    OR - as an afterthought, make sure all Win10 updates are current.  I've heard of issues if not.
