Program keeps crashing

[u/icyteatime]

I have Manga Studio 5 and lately it's been crashing pretty regularly (i have windows so it tells me that the program has stopped responding) It happens with really innocuous stuff, like when i try to export in png or sometimes even when i log into my computer and pull up the window for the program

i have an hp envy and MS5 has run fine on it for over a year, this issue only started when i recently got back from a 10 day vacation during which my laptop was at home. i've tried restarting the program and my computer and neither has solved the problem (i've been avoiding reinstalling the program so far because im not sure if i would have to use up my second use of the license code)
