Tried it, Fred, but I'm still getting the message. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
You didn't report that Qimage was asking if you want to see the tutorial, or asking if you want the thumbs rebuilt.
If you didn't see the screen for the tutorial, it might be because the ini files are corrupt.
Did you do a fresh install or copy over files?
I suggest that you go into C:\ProgramData\ddisoftware\Qimage and delete the Qimage.ini for Ultimate, and Qimagepr.ini
That will cause Qimage Ultimate to create *new* ini files.
There are more ini files, but I believe these two are the pertinent ones.
