Tcl script error as soon as ModelSim is opened

I have ModelSim ALTERA STARTER EDITION 10.3d.

As soon as I open ModelSim, the jumpstart window appears. When I close it and go to any option on the menu, a dialog box appears which says

--- Quote Start ---

Error in Tcl script

Error: Can't read "_()clients": no such variable

--- Quote End ---

I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling but this error persists.

The Stack trace reads as:

--- Quote Start ---

Trace back: can't read "_clients()": no such variable

while executing

"set _currObj $_clients($cid)"

(object "::.bookmarkmgr" method "::vsimwidgets::bookmarkmgr::_setcurrent" body line 11)

invoked from within
