Jazzman is correct.

When doing a reinstall "right overtop" of itself, BB does not rewrite that critical "intrface.bbw" file, it attempts to use the old one you had so that BB will open with all your favorite settings still in place.

But that file is volatile in the sense that BB must read it when first opening and then write to it when BB closes.

Anything that gets in the way of that last write process will likely = a corrupt intrface.bbw file.

Return to Factory Settings is there, use it whenever BB stops doing things it is supposed to do.

We used to have to shut down BB and find the file in the bb folder and delete or move it ourselves. (I'm the guy who suggesed the Return to Factory menu option to Peter and he went with it, a great improvement IMO, especially now, because we have the option to store the last working scenario and get it right back, etc. )

From experience, I'd say that Return to Factory clears up maybe 90% or more of such problems when and if they arise.
