<p>Hi All<span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p> <span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>I am having issues with eQuest I haven’t seen in all of my 15 years of eQuest.
<span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p> <span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>After the first time it happened I uninstalled, reinstalled and it worked 1<sup>st</sup> time but on closing eQuest and opening it back up again I get this message<span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p> <span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>Anyone have a fix for this?<span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
