I just booted my computer. Before I signed in on the main Win XP Pro screen, a dialog box said a new update to Blink had downloaded and would take effect on next reboot.
Subsequently, Blink did not start automatically and would not start manually.
I got the message: The Blink Service is disabled. Please enable this service and re-start Blink.
I tried starting the Blink Service manually as it was default disabled. Why, I don't know. I got the message: Unable to open service blinksvc for writing on Local Computer. Error 5: Access is denied.
I was running 3.1.1. Repair through add/remove programs does not work. Stand alone update says I must update through the Blink program.
What is going on here and how do I fix it?
Thank you!

Edit: OK, downloading 3.5 and installing it over 3.1 while keeping the license information intact seems to have fixed the problem. Butjeez, what a crappy way to do an upgrade - and to add a user account? Weak.
