Renaming it won't be advisable if their other program requires it. What I was saying, is some software doesn't shutdown properly (tidy up after use) and remnants of it can remain in memory (again Ctrl-Alt-Delete and check the task/process list for the W32sys.dll). If it is is in the Task/Process list, highlight it and End Task/End Process the item and then start RBase. BTW, if you do a clean boot and then start RBase first, do you still get the error?
