Latest update is a Nail in my coffin!

When Pal updated to the latest version it stopped working on my Mac. Couldn’t log on for 2 weeks. Now when I am in a room others cannot see my cam. Went to Apple, had 2 separate support tickets, and was concluded not a computer issue. I have been on Pal since 2004 looks like a sad farewell is looming!
