When you uninstalled TB, did you manually check (in Explorer) that no files were left? Maybe one of the configuration files remained on disk, and it is corrupted and part of the problem. Or maybe its one of the messagebase files thats corrupted. IIRC the installer has an option to leave the files on disk, or delete them when uninstalling, if you left the files TB is running into a corrupted encrypted messagebase file and can't cope with it. I'd make sure that really *everything* is gone after the uninstall (by manually checking the program files directory and your user profile directory where the messagebases are) and try again with a fresh install then. Oh, and copy the existing messagebase files away if they're still on disk. If you have success with the new installation, you can try to move the original messagebase files back (while TB is not running - and make sure to delete the indexfiles so that TB can rebuild them). If its a corrupted msgbase file, maybe you can locate it that way. It would be good to keep it then and, if privacy permits it, maybe send it to Ritlabs so that they can try to reproduce the problem (and avoid it in the future).
