Since doing this, I haven't had the 'Waiting' problem again, but if it returns and is frequent, I'll probably just make a batch file to toggle the service and launch Dragon Center. To me, this solution above a much more appropriate workaround than repeatedly reinstalling software. While Mystic_Light_Service is pretty harmless, some services are more critical, so experiment at your own risk.

There are other MSI-related services to toggle and see how Dragon Center reacts if the Mystic_Light_Service one doesn't work for you. The last two steps might work in reverse order, but I didn't get the error after that to test.

An easy one is: Windows button+R then enter+run 'Services.msc' * - There are several ways to open the Windows Services Manager. Go to the Windows Services Manager* and stop the service: 'Mystic_Light_Service' After getting pretty frustrated and exploring a couple of different possibilities, this worked for me without having to uninstall/reinstall DC:Ģ. Following other's suggestions, I've reinstalled Dragon Center many, many times with it working for a day or two, but before long I'm back to 'Waiting for SDK Initialization'.
