i'm still of the view that if you remove every trace from your PC, then re-install, then all will work - otherwise amazon would have thousands of complaints, not hundreds, and ibug news would be all over the tech web news site.

have you checked that all app data folders are gone. from your previous descriptions it seems that K4PC program is starting, looking for some local data & either not finding it or finding invalid data, then quitting. although the exe is a black box, it clearly uses app data folder to manage syncing, though registration to your amazon account is stored elsewhere, in registry. the kindle contents folder in documents is jsust a local document store.
FYI: my appdata/local/amazon folder has 6 subfolders with all sorts of strange files in there.

launching K4PC while you have task manager window open would confirm that program runs briefly, then stops. doing the same with your internet connection temp.disabled would test whether program even tries to go online ( as you'd get a different error message ? )

do you have access to another pc anywhere to check that a fresh install on a different PC works OK..
I would also, when starting over, change the friendly name for your K4PC on amazon web page, just to rule out that webpage is trying to deliver to an old install.
