Dropbox Windows App Suddenly Not Functioning

Dropbox has been very good to me, for a number of years.

Saturday morning, I had message that Dropbox could not load.

Since then, have tried several uninstalls, followed by reinstalls, both normal and Offline.  

Have had some error messages during reinstalls, the most recent of which is attached.  

After reinstalls, Dropbox is visible on Taskbar, but never gets beyond "Starting".

 

Hoping someone out there can guide me to resolution of this.

 

Regards,

tagilroy

    Mark - I had thought that I had tried the advanced re-install before my original post.  Regardless, after working through the process, I am now up and running with Dropbox.  Much thanks!
