You want to do the steps for Vista and up. For Windows 8.1:
Restart the system.
Go to the Desktop, if you're not there already.
Right-click the Start button and pick Command Prompt (Admin).
Approve the request for elevation, if asked.
Type this command:
If there's a problem with the repository, you can try to repair it with:
You also need to make sure the Windows Management Instrumentation service is running. If it's not, try starting it in your elevated Command Prompt with:

Well, you can continue down the FAQ page and try reregistering the DLLs. After that I'd wait until I hear back from LWD.
You could always go through some normal boring troubleshooting:
You could always go through some normal boring troubleshooting:
- Tell us about your device: type, OS (Windows 8.1, but 32 or 64? Standard, Pro, or Enterprise?), RAM, drives, other peripherals normally connected to this device (especially network adaptors)
- When was the last time it was working?
- When did it stop?
- What is the exact error message you receive?
- Did anything change in your system (especially hardware-wise) between them? (Windows Updates are likely.)
- If you've had it working on this device, have you tried doing a System Restore back to that time?
- Have you tried removing all external devices and rebooting before running it?

While RW continues to fail on start-up for me, I think it's worth noting the excellent Tech Support I've been receiving since the last post. Mr. Paxson has run me through several routines, built an emulator application for me to run and record results, and continues working on the situation.
Very appreciative! Excellent follow-through.
I have high confidence that my problems will be solved.
