Hi Peter,
If your Dropbox settings have gotten corrupted, uninstalling Dropbox and
reinstalling it might not fix the problem.
The reason being that the Dropbox settings folder isn't deleted along
with the rest of the program.
Once you uninstall Dropbox, go into the Document and Settings folder on
your C: drive.
Next, go into the sub folder called Peter.
If you don't have a sub folder called Peter, select the folder with the
users name.
Next, go into the Application Data folder, and in there you'll find a
Dropbox folder.
Delete this folder and you're ready to reinstall Dropbox again.
This should give you a clean installation with no errors.
I'm presuming you're using Win XP, if not then the Dropbox settings
folder may be located elsewhere.
Tom.

I'm postimg this request again in the hope that someone is able to
assist. When I try to start dropbox, I get an error message which
informs me that dropbox is unable to access the windows registry. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled the program several times and still get the
same result.
