			If your machine meets the minimum system requirements for T:ANE and you are unable to resolve the initialisation failure using any of the methods listed above, you can contact the help desk for further assistance. Be sure to include as much information as possible, including the developer logs. To copy the logs open the log window (see above), then press ctrl+a to select all, and then ctrl+c to copy them to the clipboard. They can now be pasted into the helpdesk ticket using ctrl+v.

When the error is encountered, detailed information is written to the T:ANE log. If the error is displayed again within the same application run, no further entries are written to the T:ANE log.

			To display the T:ANE logs, click on the "Developer" menu on the Launcher title bar, and select the "Show Logs" option. The log window will display diagnostic information for many different T:ANE features and systems, so may contain a lot of information, or very little. The log window can be moved, resized and scrolled if necessary. Logs can also be selected (including use of ctrl/shift modifiers for multiple selection), and copied (using ctrl+c, or the Copy option in the Edit menu).

You can then restart the application and attempt the failed action again. This should result in a more concise and relevant set of logging information.
