Q - " I suppose it’s compatible since it was already installed on my old mac "


A - Applications installed and used on Old Mac does not necessarily translate to working in Ventura macOS 13.2.1


As it stands now, without actual naming the offending Application - this will be a Guess Work affair going almost nowhere
