I am seeing an error message in my Blender console constantly. Not sure if it is affecting performance of Blender or if recent errors in the software have been for other reasons. I have no idea what any of it means but hoping someone here could give me some advice. I have tried a repair installation and reloading factory settings but doesn't stop the error from occurring, even when just doing simple operations in the default scene. I'm a bit concerned it might be a more serious problem with my computer which has crashed recently and I was forced to manually replace some dlls...

    $\begingroup$ Looks to possibly be a corrupt config file for “RenderStreet”. Is that an add-on you are using? $\endgroup$ – Rich Sedman Jul 10 '18 at 7:29

    $\begingroup$ Yep, should have seen that but blinded by all that code! Render Street was an add on I used in the past but not recently. It was no longer showing up in listings of my add ons in user preferences but I was able to just delete the Render Street folder from C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\startup. Thanks Rich! $\endgroup$ – John McCarthy Jul 10 '18 at 8:21

The problem is due to Render Street trying to read a configuration file. To remove the add-on completely (despite not showing up in User Preferences) remove the Render Street folder from within the (c:\program files\)Blender Foundation\Blender\(version)\scripts\startup directory.
