    A file could be missing from Windows, for whatever reason. Looking at your previous comments you'd like to stay away from a reinstall, but sometimes its needed. I don't like reinstalling myself, but sometimes its necessary.

    You could try a Repair installation in the case there are critical files missing to see if that puts things in order.


    What does a repair install do exactly? Cheers

    i'd say when you uninstalled the drivers for the dongle, it also uninstalled an OS file (which it shouldn't do), but it happens from time to time, and the repair reinstalled that file.
