Do not uninstall anything yet, something in the GEDCOM import went badly and corrupted the database. Since you have the program set to open with the last used database loaded, it is trying to open that broken database every time you restart. There isn't anything wrong with the program. If you are familiar with the Windows Explorer, go to the Windows folder on your C:\ drive and delete one file, "Fowin32.INI". That will let you open FOW with no database loaded. then you can make a new database and try again to import the GEDCOM files into it, or restore a backup. Do not try to open the one that crashed you or it will probably do it again. Alfred D.
