    I have installed and uninstalled dropbox many times, does not work. Reseeting PC didn't work. At last I have format my c-drive and installed windows. Now Its working. Installing windows to run an application nobody likes. I request the developer to add a powerful uninstaller to dropbox which may ask user to remove dropbox completely while uninstalling.

okay, hmm,  how far along does it install, when you install Dropbox Client, does any dialog box opens up?  does it ever tell you that it's installed?

I am confused with one part of your reply.  You stated:

No it is not telling anything. The installing box disappear. The dropbox icon came back to start bar. Thats it. When I click on the icon nothing is happening.
