Re: I have had to reinstall after totally removing ECCO PRO and get a blocking error message

Chris,

Thanks for getting back so quickly and giving me alternatives.  I have 
installed and uninstalled repeatedly. I can open up two *.eco files but 
they won't close without the error message. After closing with the Task 
Manager Ecco Pro will not start after that, repeatedly uninstalling and 
reinstalling the program. `

I also found the three key files you mentioned.  I disabled to file 
names and it DID make new ones. The files are merely filed under  the 
Windows folder.
