Crystal Reports freezes and closes in Database Expert when trying to Create New Connection (resolution)

After I installed the new version of Crystal Reports (version 14.0.4.738) and I tried to use Create New Connection in Database Expert my Crystal Reports crashed.

After a few hours of suffering, installing, and uninstalling, searching Google, reading forums, and so on about the issue, finally I found a good resolution by myself.

Step 1:
run the Crystal Setup again, and choose: Modify

Step 2:
remove (uninstall) the unnecessary data access components under Data Access.

For me it helped. I hope it helps you as well.
