We need the first set of errors you saw when opening Pathfinder to help. The above shows either all your addons are removed or HL is in safe mode because of an error it got on load.

[Ualaa]

I clicked HL from the Quick Menu along the bottom of the screen.
Pathfinder is selected, and I choose Load.

This window opens:
The data files could not be loaded due to errors. Hero Lab will now attempt to load them in recovery mode. Once loaded, you can access the editor as normal to correct any errors.

The following errors occurred:

Thing 'sopTlAmnes' - Condition phase/priority (First/5050) for bootstrap thing 'sopTlAmnPw' occurs after earliest rule/script (First/5000)

SoP is spheres of power addon has an issue. One that sounds like I am 99% sure was fixed awhile ago. Have you updated Spheres of Power to the latest version?

In matter of fact HERE is the post with those errors listed by the TheIronGolem.

[Ualaa]

Spheres of Power says I have that version (1.32) already.
Unfortunately, I'm still not able to open Pathfinder without issues.

Thanks for your assistance and pointing me in the right direction.
I guess I'll remove all the Spheres of Power stuff, and then add them, to see if that fixes it.

[Ualaa]

Having removed all the Spheres of Power, Pathfinder starts up without issues.

[Ualaa]

Unfortunately, there seems to be an issue still.

I went to the folder with the initial release of each of the SoP packages.
Double clicked, and added them.
Then Exited out, to click on the next one.
Once all were done, I went into the updater and updated to the latest version.

Then restarted Hero Lab, loaded Pathfinder, and have what appears to be the same set of errors.

[Ualaa]

Not ideal, but I suppose it worked...

I copied the three HL folders, the install folder, the Program Data folder, and the User Data folder, from my not-updated Desktop to a flash drive.

Then pasted those folders in the appropriate places, on the updated laptop.

HL didn't like the license, so I had to reactivate the license for the laptop onto the laptop.
HL opens on both the Desktop and the Laptop, without any errors... but it wants me to update to version 14.4.

[TheIronGolem]

I mentioned this in the support thread where you had just posted, but to reiterate for the sake of any other readers: Make sure you've updated any expansion content (Sphere Handbooks, Expanded Options) as well as the core package. Those errors in particular are from the Mentalist's Handbook which is particularly heavily affected by this issue.
