1) If you haven't done a hard re-boot, try that.

2) Do a reinstall using WebSetUp, and force it even if it says your program is up-to-date.

I too am plagued with this on some of our workstations more the others. 

Did this solve your issue?

There are a few related posts including the one George4Tacks included with additional solutions.

Regarding the FORCE Setup, the first option is relevant to a NETWORK install and really should be the second step IMHO.  It assumes the networks SETUP folder is correct.  The second step runs the FORCE and UPDATES the Networks files (in a network config) and then the client from which the FORCE was run.  Point being that if you have more than one workstation with an issue, you need to run option 2 first and then option one on (all) impacted workstations.

If you are having this issue, you probably should also be aware of this too

This problem has been a terrible issue for our office this year. I have spent countless hours attempting to resolve the dreaded fatal application issue on the phone with technical support. They get us up and running and within two days we have the same problem. Clients call asking questions about their tax returns and we give them the same old song and dance, "We are sorry the tax software is down!"
