How are you trying to open it and what, exactly, are you trying to get to?
Is the Dropbox icon visible in your system tray? If so, hover over it and check its status and version. Does it say Up to date? Also, what happens when you click it? Are you able to navigate to your Dropbox folder in Explorer, and can you see your files there?
If it's not visible, have you tried to launch it from your Start menu?
I am simply trying to open Dropbox by clicking on the Dropbox icon, have tried the one that appears in the tool bar and the one on the start screen as well as the short cut icon on the window desk top screen. The same result on all of them, it appears as if its searching and going to open but it never does. I see the program in "program files" but can,t get it to open. I need to go to drop box web site in order to open it.
