My BBoy doesn't launch anymore !!!

by philippez @
Hi,
I'm in the middle of my free trial period off BB (i plan to buy as it sounds good, i mean as it did sound good). BB was stuck today because of a full disk. So i exit, made some room on the disk, and launched again BB but ... nothing happened. I've tried to desinstall / reinstall but not better. There is no error file under "Program Files...". What the hell is happening ?
I'm under XP Pro. BB is the trial version 1.96.0.139
Does anyone have an idea of the possible problem ?
Thanks in advance

Philippez

PS : when i try to launch BB, the task manager shows BinBoy.exe in the process list for a few tenth of second, so i understand that BB actually launches but exit right away, unfortunately without complaining.

It could be a corrupted history file. To track down the problem, run Binary Boy from the Start | Run window like this: binboy.exe -dlog -log

That will write Binary Boy's progress to C:\program files\binary boy\log.txt You can send log.txt to me if you like (support at binaryboy dot com).

If the history file is the problem, renaming or deleting two files in C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application Data\Binary Boy should solve the problem. Rename binboy.hst to binboy_.hst and binboy.mdx to binboy_.mdx Binary Boy will create new files automatically.

That's what i call a quick / efficient debug. You were so right. The log.txt ended on a history issue "20:58:32 OnCreate: InitHistoryList()", so i've renamed the two files and everything works fine now.
So thank you so much, and my purchase won't be delayed.
