It was working before I downloaded 5.0. After uninstalling, deleting the directories and reinstalling, everything looks good. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
My apologies for the trouble. Based on the error message you're seeing it looks as though your screen-scraper instance may be corrupted. Was screen-scraper working previously, but then later started showing this message? Is there any chance there could be a permissions issue involved? For example, if you installed the application as an administrator, but then ran it as a user with lower access rights something like this could occur.
In the end, the simplest way would be to re-install. If you have work you've done previously you can preserve that by copying your "resource\db" folder, then copying that directory on top of the new directory once you re-install. Just be sure that when you're copying the directories you do it when screen-scraper is *not* running.
Kind regards,
Todd
