    Hey there essr - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Could you completely disable your antivirus and firewall for a while to see if the app works normally then? 

     

    Also, when you reinstall the app on your computer, make sure to use the offline installer from this page directly. 

     

    Keep us posted with any updates!

I really appreciate the fast response.  The offline installer did the trick!  My PC has odd administrator issues that I have never understood.  I don't know if that was part of this issue or not.  At any rate, all is good now!
