Dear Muhammad,
I can't give you an instant solution to this problem. As I suggested
last week, there might be a problem with the way you installed the
updates. First, if you downloaded the latest version of SPM8, it will
already contain the updates for version 3408. Therefore, you don't need
to update this version. If you downloaded any older version, you must
unpack the updates into the same folder as the original SPM8 software.
If you are asked to overwrite files, you have to do so. However, you
must make sure that this process does not accidentally delete files in
your SPM8 software folder.
