Notes Client, similar problem - FIXED!

I have been struggling with this for a couple of days now, but glad to report that I was able to successfully fix it. I upgraded my Lotus Notes standard install from 8.5 to 8.5.3FP3 successfully. I had an issue prior to the upgrade and fixpatches with my Lotus Notes client not launching. I could go from Designer and get to it from there. I just did not have the time to investigate and fix it. I hoped that after the 8.5.2 it would magically fix itself. But no such luck. Here is what I had to do:
After upgrading all my clients to 8.5.2, I applied all the available fixpatches in order.Then I rebooted my computer and renamed my workspace folder (c:\lotus\notes\data) to workspace-old. I could have deleted it, but chose not to. Then I launched my Lotus Notes client and it took an additional few minutes and I was presented with the default Lotus Notes Workspace. From there, I launched the Workspace and I did not lose anything. All my databases were there intact.
Prior to this I also deleted the .snap file from my eclipse plugins folder (I still got the Process Command Error)
So, renaming my workspace folder and having it recreate from scratch seemed to have done the trick for me. Hope this helps for those of you that are still looking for answers relating to this issue.

Thank you!
Shabana
