    I've tried to Registry fix for the previous version - no luck.

    I can't reinstall - I get an install message - I tried using the window installer cleanup utility - no joy

    I can't uninstall - it says its not installed

    I've tried to manually instlal 1.2.0.7 but I get permission errors even though I'm running as administrator

    What pains me is that this was all working a week ago...

    the error message means the dvrmstoolboxservice is not running.
