Defaults will be used. Yes, this still happens with RC2, and it appears to be IDS_ERROR_INIFILENOTOPEN. >> It also displays an opening splash when the error is dismissed, >> requiring OK to proceed.

Also, I am not getting any images saved to %MEMDRIVE% now, at all. Opening the settings with Alt-PrtSc, the Save directory is listed as: Z/ which is probably the cause. Changing this, however, does not correct the behavior (likely because we can't write the INI file). >> Now, is the save directory hardcoded to z:? This can't be.

I forgot that we discussed this in AN ticket 1056.

That said, the first tab and page of the options dialog for gotchaq is blank. Ayuda does nothing (no help launched). -- Lewis
