     Assuming you are using a windows installation, can you please try by going to the windows "run" app and enter "dbdoctor_ui". 

      Hopefully this works. Please let me know what Allegro installation you have, as per the information on Help Menu > About.

    As per my previous message I will need to know the tool version: 17.4, 22.1, 23.1?  I can then send you the appropriate program by mail once confirmed.
