"Unable to obtain elevated privileges (required): Unable to Start (an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host)"

I recently downloaded Eddie version 2.24.6 for Windows 7 - 32 Bit. And installed it, but after installing it my computer crashed and now whenever I try to start Eddie (GUI) I get the following error:

"Unable to obtain elevated privileges (required): Unable to Start (an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host)"

Then when I click OK, Eddie closes. This occurs with both the installed version and the portable version.

This has continued to occur even through reboots and power offs. If I don't start Eddie, I do not have any Internet access at all - so it seems like the "Network Lock" is active.

What can I do?

Uninstall and delete the profile file. Enter this in Explorer and delete the default.profile.

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Eddie\

Then reboot and reinstall.
