record manager inactive ?

Hi all

After installing ODBC driver v 2.04, P3 don’t want to launch, error message a serial number can’t be locked , and as I am an ignorant civil engineer I just uninstalled the software

So when reinstalling the software it keeps saying record manager inactive can’t create PRMZFIL.P3

So please what’s wrong? Is the default to the new odbc driver or what ?
Of course I can always format the c: driver then installing all the software from scratch, but my concern for the new driver, because the once installed with infomaker, each time I made a query he pops up saying the license is over and I have to call some one paying him a lot of money.

Please need help ?

Cheers
Mimoune
