Zbrush 4r4 crashes when I select the move tool.

Hey guys,
since I upgraded to Zbrush 4r4 I haven't been able to use the move tool. Every time I even click it, zbrush spits out a recovered file and closes.
I don't use the move tool TOO often, which is why it is only now bothering me. I was thinking maybe my computer was just acting weird; but it happens every time.
Anyone with similar nonsense?
Or, a solution?

    Did you get the patch? There were a few nasty bugs for the main 4R4 release. Go to zplugin> Auto Update within the program to do it. You don't need to de-activate or anything.

    Thanks for pointing that out, but sadly my problem still stands. Pretty frustrating!

    What happens if you reinstall and overwrite everything in ZB?

    Did you do a fresh install or update an old directory of ZB?

    Did you change and save any settings in the brush?

    Do you have any extra plugins installed?

    I was sort of hoping not to have to reinstall, but if it comes to that, I suppose I could.
    I had freshly installed 4 r4, in its own folder. Not overwriting 4 r3.
    I am unaware that the move brush even has settings, so no, I haven't changed any of them.

    And yes, I have Tilehelper installed, but that is only very newly installed, and the problem existed beforehand as well...

    I guess I should just do a fresh install, then?

    Anyone know how to save out my custom layout?
    Thanks

    Afraid so, although maybe you could upload the brush and someone can take a look at it maybe?

    To save custom layout, go to Preference > Config and there you should have Store, Save, etc.

    Hey, sorry, I guess I wasn't quite clear enough. It isn't the move brush, it's the move tool. This thingy right here:

    Not sure that changes anything, though.

    Oh, OK, that's VERY awkward indeed. I tried some testing right now, alongside Transpose Master, Masking, etc and it all works fine.

    Final suggestion would be the ZB Help forums maybe?

    Well! Turns out it is because I had removed "Transpose" from the Brushpresets, and put it into the regular old "Brushes" folder.
    Pretty stupid, but now it works like a charm!

    Thanks Ace. You're a lot of help when it comes to the Technical stuff.

    I just wanted to say thanks, I know it's an old thread but I was tearing my hair out trying to fix this issue - Turns out the transpose tool was missing from the folder somehow, also never clobber the Brush Presets folder with all your brushes (I had 100's) :)
