Hi David,

please do not attribute your setup issues with other reports of issues 
without any evidence they are related.

Your settings file is not corrupt, I suggest you restore it and then 
consider the following settings issues:

  * Your Tx audio device is the Windows default audio device, that is
    rarely a correct choice
  * Your "Menu->Decode" depth setting is "Normal", unless you have a
    slow CPU you might consider using "Deep"
  * You have the "Ref Spec" option checked on the Wide Graph window
    controls, unless you have recorded a reference spectrum that will
    not be a correct setting.
