    thanks for the help, but i figured it out.. I'm using linux and all i did is typed  "killall dropbox" in the terminal and than i was able to start dropbox, and i got a windows to open that asked me if i wanted to link my computer.

    It does show how to relink if you choose the OS.

    How do you mean it isnt doing anything? Is it running or not?
