Hi Lesa,

 

These are the steps you might use to solve this problem:

Step 1: You have to find the C: > ProgramData directory to your computer.

Step 2: Select the Application folder then open it then renames all .DLL to "OLD".

Step 3: Open the "Task Manager" by right click the taskbar then select the "Start Task Manager" or just press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc and Hit "Process".

Step 4: Select the identified files the right click then ends the process.

Step 5: Then remove the references in the Windows Registry.

You can now launch the application.
