Thanks for responding. Let me start from the beginning. I purchased a SPSS 2-year license June 7, 2021 and successfully used it in 2021 on my MacBook Pro. I just tried accessing SPSS for the first time this year and it fails to open. It begins to open and then stops and closes and a JAVA window opened with a lengthy message (see below). I'm just trying to access and use SPSS on my MacBook Pro with Monterey OS. There seems to be a problem between my computer OS and SPSS now. I'm sure the last time I used SPSS successfully I ran an older PS.
