Subject: Try renaming workspace directory
I usually resolve this problem by renaming (or deleting) the workspace directory. This directory(Swedish Windows XP) is located at:MultiUser: “c:\documents and settings<username>\lokala inställningar\application data\lotus\notes\data\workspace”
or
SingleUser: “c:\program\ibm\lotus\notes\data\workspace”
The directory “Lokala inställningar” is named “Local Settings” on english Windows XP.
A new directory should be created and notes usually starts up fine again.
Also make sure that the registry keys are still there [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus], if these dissapear there is a chance that the client will not start.
Here are my registry patches for a broken Swedish 8.5 MultiUser-installation:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\License Use Runtime]
@=“”
