All, I have a WinXP (sp3) system with Mathematica 7.0.1 installed. I've been using it for over a month. Last Friday "something happened" that corrupted Mathematica. Upon launch I get the following error message: "A serious error has occurred while Mathematica was starting up. Mathematica will probably not function properly until this problem is resolved. You may choose to conintue anyway, but Mathematica may crash or exit without warning. The installation of Mathematica may be corrupted. Contact technical support or visit http://www.wolfram.com/support/ for more information. Error code: 480" I did have an old inactive Mathematica 6 still installed on the machine and inadvertently launched it. I closed version 6 and then launched version 7 and received the error above. Since then, I have uninstalled both versions, deleted the "C:\Program Files\Wolfram\" folder and even went into the registry and deleted all keys that had "wolfram" or "mathematica" in it. I then rebooted and did a clean install of Mathematica 7.0.1. The first launch of this cleaned install produced the same error. Error code: 480 produced no results when I searched on the Wolfram support site. As a student without *premier* support and can not call into Wolfram support, I'm at a loss as to what to do. Has anyone experienced this same/similar phenomenon? Anyway have an idea of what else I should try to resolve it? Much thanks, Joe
