I've been working with .Net for a few years now. I never had this problem before where the app fails to start. The following is a stack trace that I get.

I thought I would uninstall the app and then re-install it to see if that would help but the launcher won't start for me to do that. Help guys if you can. Basically, the app displays a youtube playlist for instance Nas or Drake or Salt N Pepa music artist. Users can view a Wikipedia Bio of the artist, see artist photos or art on Google and play games like chess or solitaire.
This is a basic app and like I said I never had the problem before. I need some guidance if you can help I'd greatly appreciate it
