Hi Mark,
the message you sent me contained a number of thought-provoking actions. And what struck me was the mention of a reinstallation several times.

I have the same problem. When you say you totally removed it, was it using the Programs feature to uninstall from Control Panel? I did that but my problem still exists. Dropbox starts but wont connect to internet. I close it and launch the client and it connects immediately.
