This is caused when somehow the Galiltools program has become damaged. CreativeStudio(tm) cannot work properly if Galiltools is broken or missing – it just keeps popping up error messages and as soon as you close one, the next one appears.
1. Go to “add/remove programs” and find galiltools in the list. Uninstall the program.
2. Reboot the computer.
3. Locate the installer file, you’ll find it thru Windows File Explorer. Go to “This Computer” “C Drive” “StatlerStitcher” “CreativeStudio7.0” and it is called “GalilTools-1.6.4.165-Win-x86.exe” Make sure to use the file ending with “x86.exe”, there may be another file there with a similar name.
4. Double-click the file to install Galil Tools and step thru the prompts until installation is finished.
5. Shut down the computer and then start it up again.
