Reloaded Java, 2.2.0, 2.1.3, 2.0.0, and 2.2.0 again; nothing happens on load, no event log written (running XP), no nothing. 2.1.3 worked GREAT; I am very sad that 2.2.0 worked only briefly (a few hours)

    Could you please try to download the jar file from Sourceforge, run it in a command line window using

    java -jar hodoku.jar
    

    and post the result here?

    Thank you!

    No problem; thanks for looking into this event. By the way, I am enjoying 2.2.0 on my portable, also XP, and so far no problem. Portable and Desktop have same Java; I deleted all versions and started from scratch on both machines. Very odd.

    Here is the command line results:

    C:>java -jar hodoku.jar

    You seem to have an invalid config file in your system's temp directory. Could you please delete the file

    C:\DOCUME~1\JACKAN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\hodoku.hcfg
    

    and try again?

    Thanks for your patience!

    Deleted it; 2.2.0 loaded up now.

    Sorry to cause you the grief of an anomaly specific to my machine!

    Thanks much; I'm going to go play.

    No problem. Besides HoDoKu should start even if an invalid config file is present. I will look into that for the next release.
