tech gripe, help appreciated 

so I updated windows, and everything's okay... except dropbox, which magically stopped connecting to the internet.

anyone got any pointers to help me out with this other than waiting for an eventual update? I've already tried reinstalling and disabling anything that may put a proxy in the way, made sure it's allowed through the windows firewall too, still nothing.

@Thaminga try deleting Dropbox's preferences which may be persistent through installations?

re: tech gripe, help appreciated 

@dog every trace of it was gone (checked appdata, install folders, etc) after I first uninstalled it, so that shouldn't be it; unless there's some place where those are at that I haven't found

@Thaminga i cant offer any more advice that would baffle me to no end
