Tracked Down One Cause of Runtime Error 91

hi! i often get runtime error 91 object variable or block variable not set when starting XY. the app just silently quits and i can read the error in the error log that is generated. i believe i have found one cause for this. my initial PC setup was local drives C, D and E. i removed D and E from the PC and replaced them with a new D. so now it is just C and D.

in my xyplorer.ini file, i found that i had quite a few references to E:\(whatever) and that drive no longer exists. i cleaned up several of them and would still get the no-start and error; however, once i edited the StartPath setting, the app started up without any problem ! it was previously pointing to a path on the non-existent E: drive. once changed to D:, no issue.

so it would appear this error is thrown if it encounters a path that doesn't exist, especially in the StartPath entry.

Can't reproduce, there must be other factors. Can you send me your INI file?
