Now, launch Lotus Notes and you will be automatically asked to reconfigure it. Follow the default options, such as browsing for a possible "ID file" (located in C:\Notes\Data, by default).
Please note that depending on your environment (such as an organization or in your home), the setup questions and prompts may vary. Consult your administrator.

Haven't used Lotus Notes since the 80's. I've forgotten most of it. Thanks for the article. -

I used it at my previous job and this error was fairly common, and often hard to fix depending on the mess an ini file had, ha. Thanks for the reading.
