[moneydance] MoneyDance 609 won't run anymore on a PC

[Rick Flower]

Sean,

I looked in that folder and the file is empty.. MD is still running
(there's an entry on the taskbar) but no window or anything else
indicating its doing anything.. By the way, I uninstalled and re-installed
and still no-go.. I've even rebooted the machine.. I'm wondering if
something was pushed out via the corporate network that is causing some
sort of issue.. I can't imagine what though as most updates are from MS
(for security issues) and usually require reboots making it obvious that
patches had been installed (but this didn't happen last week).  Anyway, if
you've got any other suggestions, I'm all ears!  Does the MD installer put
any registry keys in place that I could try removing?  Just a thought..
