    Thanks for the screenshots, Hester! When saying your IT man deleted some parts of the program in the registry, do you mean that he performed an advanced reinstall, as described here?

Hey FlexAssistance, let's jump right into this! 

 

I'd love to know a bit more about the steps that you tried on your end, in order for me to be on the same page with you when it comes to troubleshooting. 

 

Did you also try our offline installer? Also, what is the OS of the device you're using on your end? 

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

Best,

Hester
