FreeCommander Forum

Hi everyone

I installed the latest version 32 bit (20.01.2017 6.41 MB 61740D2B01455FC9BA17476E12701428) , and it started to launch in a "minimized" mode. I couldn't maximize it, and had to stretch it out. However, when stretching the window, the application crashes.

I tried to reinstall a previous build (715 I think) to see if I can go back. This did work temporarily, but the application keeps crashing and I have to kill the process manually.

I am now in a position where no matter which version I install, the application keeps crashing, typically right on start up.

1. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
2. Is there anything I can do to try to rectify this?
3. What do i need to save, if i want to completely uninstall and then reinstall it. Will my backup be enough to restore everything?

Thanks

Try to use these command line parameters (your old setting files will be preserved):

/N /NewIni=FreeCommanderTest.ini /NoPlugins /Lng=English

Then you can try the settings from backup, default path is %FcAppDataPath% (FC install folder, Settings subfolder - Bkp_Settings_2017-01-...).

You can use any number of FC installations / folders, so you can test multiple FC versions and settings.

All settings (incl. backup) are in the Settings folder, you can find the location from main menu > Help > About > Paths info (FC data), or just type %FcAppDataPath% in the address path.

Will give it a go.

Thanks so much for the assistance
