This article explains how to clear a corrupt user profile.
When loading the Olympus software you may get an error occur saying “The application will be terminated because the user profile is corrupt” then closes.
Alternatively the software may not open at all when you double click on the application.
This problem occurs when a user’s Olympus profile, a combination of files (mainly XML files) containing the user’s settings, are corrupt and cannot be read by the Olympus software.
