SX dongle error

[bluedad]

I reinstalled cubase 5.1 to work on an old song, and it gave me an error on start-up that I'm sure has to do with the copy protection.
pissed off, I uninstalled it, and now get the same error when I try to open SX2. Both dongles are still connected ( and have been co-existing for months).
any ideas?
I remember this happening once in 5.1 and a reboot cured it, but I've done several reboots and no change.

have you tried something like EasyCleaner

EasyCleaner is a small program which searches Windows' registry for entries that are pointing nowhere. EasyCleaner also lets you delete all kinds of unnecessary files like temps, backups etc. You can search for duplicate files and you can view some intresting info about your disk space usage! You are also able to manage startup programs, invalid shortcuts and add/remove software list.

.. throw the dongle to a wall, dive it on a glass of water, than try again

Did you try uninstalling just the dongle drivers and reinstalling them,Gary?
Be sure to remove the dongle first.Also,when you uninstalled 5.1,did you remove the dongle first?Most dongled programs require to remove the dongle when installing or uninstalling-otherwise things like this happen...
