Stardock Central - Recent Update, always crashes.

from Stardock Forums
In the last couple of days, I have not been able to use stardock central as it crashes, even from the Debug shortcut on my desktop. Once I have let it download the latest version, it prompts for a restart, when it re-loads, it crashes, the data is placed in an appcompat.txt file. Here is the dump

-- end snip.

Any help would be appriciated.

Okay, I have it fixed now - This was a pain.

Basically I needed to:

1) Run the uninstaller
2) Delete the C:\Program Files\Stardock folder (This includes all of the downloaded games that I have.)
3) Clean out my registry of all Stardock related data
4) Restart my computer
5) Re-Install the application...

Now I have to re-download all of the games that I had already finished.
