deadfloat: Hey,
Similar issue is being dealt with here:
http://mantis.gog.com It is call ID: 0002280 (unresolved).
I think you can just add your problem to that existing call.
You could try reinstalling the Galaxy client. Is the install in a different area on the laptop?
Error tracking for Galaxy is located here:
C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\logs
Just check the date modified before and after you open the Galaxy client to see where the error is.
Dschayson: Thanks for the fast reply - i will add my data to the existing call.
I reinstalled the client several times and tried different locations - but nothing changed so far.
I'd like to give you the log here as-well:

I uninstalled Galaxy from Control Panel > Programs and Features > Galaxy.
Had to remove it manually.
Where are you installing the Galaxy Client and where are your GOG games installed.
