Endnote attempts import and crashes upon startup

Is there something in that folder now?  – try removing it (but leave the folder).  maybe the file is corrupt and preventing endnote from reading and indexing it. renaming as tkasik suggests should work too).  You may need to call Tech support to see if they can suggest files to remove or rename to see if you can get the program to open.  www.endnote.com/support has the numbers.
