Well, it appears I am not alone in having recent problems with Dropbox, used for my occasional VLF grabber, according to posts on the Dropbox forum.

I have tried EVERYTHING suggested by experts here and on the Dropbox forum to overcome the "unable to access vital registry information" box appearing when trying to load it. Versions from 0. 7.110 through to 1.3.9 have been tried, unsuccessfully, and I have cleared registries, deleted cache files, even deleted my Windows log-on password for a time (apparently this fixed it for someone) and deleted and reinstalled the Dropbox software, in various revisions, more times than I can recall in the past few days. 

Now I have given up unless someone can help with a fix that is certain to work.

As I am not a PC or software expert this has really stumped me. It is a pity as Dropbox was so useful. So, no more occasional VLF grabber from here until I find the fix or an alternative that is less problematic.
