Edit gpg.conf (Notepad should work fine) and comment out the offending line (#5)
by inserting a # at the beginning of the line.
gpg.conf is /normally/ located in the same directory as the keyring files:
pubring.gpg, secring.gpg, trustdb.gpg. The default locations are
- Window XP and earlier (XP/2000/NT) -
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\GnuPG
- Windows Vista and Windows 7:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\gnupg
