Umesh and everyone else who offered suggestions, All is well, it looks like it was a corrupted file.

I reinstalled and then copied my know good files from my desktop into the laptop files and everything works. YEAH!

Thanks again, hope to work you on field day.

Hi Rick, Been there done that, so may I suggest a couple of things to reduce your work and speed things up... So, do as Alan has said, then sort the SatPC32_DataBackup folder by Date Descending. You should see only a few files/folders would have recent timestamps. Only focus those files/folders, this will save you lot of time and frustration. Also before copying over the newer files (one buy one), rename the original files as .ORIG, or .SAVE, so you can bounce back quickly from any problematic file.

Just a thought, hope it helps.

Try running the new version without reinstalling your old data. If that works, you can incrementally restore the old data manually and find the problem.
