Hi crystal772m, thanks for posting here today!
Have you tried to restart the app? If so, does it quit automatically again?
Can you try the steps maynaus mentioned in this thread, and let me know if that gets things back on track for you?
Thanks a bunch!

No this is not working at all - Appears to want me to sign in as it starts but I get a box that pops up saying the same thing over and over and over

Hey crystal772m, can you try an advanced re-install using these steps?
