Hi Joost,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I have not had time to do everything you have outlined there but I would like to give you an update.
It could be that the problem is perhaps related to the project that was done on the trial version and than loaded on the licensed version. May be you can replicate the problem. I have created two more pano from scratch in the licensed version and I didn't encounter the same problem. I will continue to work from the licensed version from now on. I have done some more panos in the trial version 12, but I had no time to look at this project file in version 13. If I encounter the same problem will let you know.
I have downloaded the trial version and put in on the desktop, and reload the same project. the difference between the two is that in the trial version Create Panorama white line starts right away, although very slow it is moving. yet does not start or move into the licensed version with the same project file (which as I mentioned was created in the 13 beta trial version) prior acquiring the license.
Thank you again.
I attach here the two system info taken from the help trial and licensed, and the project file
