Module Error after Upgrading

After upgrading to 5.4.4, error with the Announcement Module. "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and pages with the Announcements Module cannot be displayed. However, these pages are OK when logged in with the HOST account.

Re: Module Error after Upgrading

If you go to the Host/Event Viewer page do you get a more detailed error message? What version of the Announcements module are you using? Have you upgraded latel?

Re: Module Error after Upgrading

Dear Chris,

I did install the modules (it happens to both the Announcement and the html Modles, both latest version). As I said, the error only appears in regular users and admin user but not in Superuser. Here are the Event Logs.

Re: Module Error after Upgrading

Hello;
Please log this as a bug @ http://support.dotnetnuke.com
Include the information you have put into both posts we'd also need to know:
