    To get around this issue you can do the following:
    1) Close LaunchBox
    2) Open Task Manager, and ensure the LaunchBox process isn’t showing in there
    3) Navigate to your \\LaunchBox\Data\ folder
    4) Delete ImageQueue.xml
    5) Re-open Launchbox

    Doing this WILL remove your image download queue though and so you will need to rerun the Download Metadata and Media Wizard again, but should let you use the application normally again.
