    When I boot up, I get the message "Another instance is running     configuration system failed to initialize".  How do I fix?

    DiamondJim

    I'm running Win 8.1.  It appears in a small box with "Another instance is running at the top" and" configuration system failed to initialize" inside the box.

    Hello,

    I'd ask in the Windows 8.1 forum on Microsoft Community.

    As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

    Once there, click on Participate near the top of the screen, and select 'Ask a Question' or 'Start a Discussion'
