ERROR: formats.ini

Did you notice this in your log?:

ERROR (79): the directory () does not exist - (22) Invalid argument
ERROR (44): unable to open file 'C:\Users\emeryl\AppData\Local\Lotus\Notes\Data\formats.ini' - (2) No such file or directory

Have you tried reinstalling the client?

What happened to the 'formats.ini' file? I didn't even realize there was such a thing, but found one on my system, which appears to have been last modified 07/16/10 @ 9:43 AM. Is it possible this is a default file that never changes? I just started my new position Feb. 2011, so it doesn't appear my client has modified it since install.

FWIW: Here is what is contained in my 'formats.ini':

---------END FORMATS.INI----------

Maybe simply replacing (creating) your formats.ini file again with this one will get you up and running again.
