Configuration lost each time I quit UltraEdit

[FlameDance]

Hi everyone,

as the topic says: Each time I quit UltraEdit and restart it, all configurations are lost.

Formerly I had a test version running for a while, so I guess there might be some connection.

I uninstalled everything looking like UltraEdit, cleaned up the registry (there were still lots of UltraEdit entries after uninstalling) as far as it seemed not too dangerous (I'm no Windows guru) - still, after installing again: Same behavior.

What's the problem behind the problem, how can I solve it?

Thanks,
FlameDance

PS: OS is XP Pro SP2.

If you aren't using the registry, check you ACTUALLY have write access to the actual INI file.

If you aren't using the registry, try using the registry to see if that changes anything.

HTH,

I'm using the INI files as I'm no friend of cluttering the registry - especially when I know that uninstallers don't clean up everything they should.

Write access was granted, UltraEdit wrote to the INI file each time I quit and each time I started it. So that wasn't the problem.

I found a solution, finally, continuing to think from your hint: There were some old files in the UltraEdit directories, whatever their purpose was. Probably some remnants from the previous installation. After I uninstalled again, deleted the whole directory tree manually and reinstalled again - now it works.

Thanks!

No sweat...

When in doubt, there's no substitute for a CLEAN install...
