"Could not create key pair: No agent running"

Does anyone know what this means? I've read other people reporting this on only a few forums. I've tried previous versions (currently 31.1.5), removing certain folders from C:\Users\%username%AppData\Roaming\ and
C:\Program Files (x86) folders whilst still keeping program in the hope of updating once the Key Pair is created but nothing seems to be working.

Many thanks
