Dropbox StaffHi sykes0712, when you performed the uninstall/reinstall, was it using an advanced reinstallation or another method?
Hello, Jay ,
Thank you for your suggestion, I first did normal uninstall and reintall. Did not work.
I just did as you suggested with advanced reinstallation. It also did not work.
This is probably the same error as the one in my previous post.
- Jay
Do you get the exact same error message as before, or is it different? Copying and pasting the error log will help me out!
