    Try a repair install of TC 14 on the machine in question.  It sounds like something got messed up in the registry or in the file installations.

      Also, it makes sense to try starting TestComplete as an Administrator.

       

      Bingo, let us know if the issue wasn't resolved - we will be happy to assist more.

      Thank you a lot. But reinstall can't solve this problem. I will try other ways.
