Always the way - work it out just after you post asking for help ... The program always needs to be run as administrator. I guess the old version is being stored under the generic profile ... I've set it to always run as administrator and it's fine now

The version numbers in the program are broken, and it the program keeps thinking that it is out of date. Just ignore the update prompt for now (until you notice that it goes higher than 1.706).

I've even tried uninstalling and manually deleting every left over file and folder. Also searched my hard drive for every file with "mids" in it and deleted them all.

It wasn't just requesting to be updated - it actually was using the previous database version. Anyway fixed now - thanks for replies, hopefully this can help someone with the same issue (make absolutely sure the program is running as administrator when you use it not just when installing it).
