install - reboot - bloom crashes #31

All I'm doing is running the application, shutting down the pc (maybe without shutting down the exe), and this appears when I run it the next time the PC is used:

Hey there.

Two things I can think of for this one:

  1. You're upgrading from a previous version and Windows is giving you a hard time about cached registry entries. Uninstall ScreenBloom, reboot your PC, and then reinstall 2.2.
  2. Your config file is corrupt. Either re-generate it from a page on ScreenBloom (if you can access any), or manually delete it and re-open ScreenBloom.

It's located in c:/Users/Username/AppData*/Roaming/screenBloom/screenbloom_config.cfg

*You'll need to enable 'Show Hidden Files' to see this directory.

trick: start > run or win key + r on keyboard (both open the run dialog) and %APPDATA% will open the roaming subfolder of appdata. my prefered way since I move the users & documents folders to D:\ (saved my ass several times already, once when a seagate HDD crashed from simply shutting down the pc).

Will try a fresh install today.

forced clean installation. seems to be resolved now.
