Same for me. It doesn't help to un-install/re-install it.
This begun after I executed a regexp that crashed the app.

Error:

---------------------------

handled.

Process id=0x1168 (4456), Thread id=0x1c4c (7244).

Click OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application.

I have the same problem as well. I'm using XP sp2, with .NET
Framework 1.1.4322 and 2.0 installed.

I managed to reinstall it to a different folder. Try also to
delete the old folder if it exists.

I had this same problem, and deleting the settings.config*
files did not work. I was able to resolve it by removing
the .NET 1.1 Framework, and only having .NET 2.0 Framework
installed. Then, I performed an admin install on the MSI,
which skips the check for the 1.1 Framework. Here's the
install command for an admin setup:

msiexec /a "RegulatorSetup.msi"

I was able fix this issue by removing the application, deleting the 'The Regulator' folder from Program Files, and then reinstalling the application.

I did have the same problem (crashing at startup)

My solution:

Create a (text)file named Regulator.exe.config in the install directory.

Copy the folowing text into the file:

<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
</startup>
</configuration>

Save the file.
This file instructs the CLR to use only the .Net version 2.

For me it works fine!

This may happen agter the Regulator application crashed during saving it's configuration file to harddrive. Uninstaling or reinstaling the application will not help, because the very configuration file remains in system untouched.
The soulution to fix this problem is uninstall the application, manually delete this configuration file and then install the aplication once again.

For me works just deleting the settings.config file. But thanks for inspiration.
