Hi!

I'm back and updating my key for new email accounts after a long absence.

But am running a problem and getting the following error.  I did a
Google search but didn't find anything yet.

Could someone please explain what the error means?  And, if there is
obvious place to look for such info that I don't know about, please let
me know where I can look.

Error
