Hey sykes0712, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

I removed your links, to prevent unnecessary traffic on your account, so would you mind attaching screenshots of the error messages to your next reply instead? 

 

Thanks in advance.

        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.
