Well, I got past the launch problem. I uninstalled Paintslate, but I had to do a forced uninstall to remove it from my computer. The standard uninstall did not work. It appears that some installation, at sometime, did not go correctly and caused the continual install/configuration dialog box to pop up when another program was installed and launched.
Once the program was remove, Artist launched as expected. Thanks for the suggestions and the help.

Awesome, glad to know it works now.
Have fun!
