Subject says it all... I have been fighting this problem for 10 days and tried ALL solutions listed in the forums and help areas. I uninstalled and reinstalled a minimum of 30x with online, offline, and advanced methods. I also gave dropbox administrative permissions and tried installing older versions as well as the 27.xx version....No luck..and gained a few gray hairs in the process. In order to help others who are stuck just like me, try this: Start>All Programs>Dropbox> right click the Dropbox icon> Properties>Compatibility> Select run this program in compatibility mode for> Select Windows Vista> Click Apply> Click ok>Launch dropbox via the icon. Do NOT select Win XP or you will get an error as Dropbox does not support it anymore. The above solution worked for me! I think a Win7 update did something Dropbox doesn't like as it has been working flawlessly for me for years(other than when DB dropped XP support).

Same here, lot's of troubles running the latest version on Windows 7. Stuck at "initializing".
- mikeb21538 years agoExplorer | Level 3Did you try changing to compatibility mode?
- Rogier L.8 years agoExplorer | Level 3No, not yet. But to be honest... I don't want to. Dropbox should run without compatibility mode :).

Any update on this? Confirmed by the Dropbox team?

Both latest stable and latest beta give a "blank screen" on the moment where I normally enter my Dropbox credentials. Please see screenshot.
