Urgent Problem - Tabsets stopped working

Post by aurumdigitus »

Am using Horizontal Panes.

Today Tabsets will no longer do anything at all with the Lower Pane. All Tabset menu items give a "Could note create path" or "Could not find path". Suspect something coruppted in an .ini file but have no idea what.

:veryconfused:

Edit: Regardless of the solution to this, what is the best and safest way to backup XY on a Windows 7 machine?

Hi,
You should look into XY's pane folder where you will find specific ini file in question. Open it with text editor and see if paths are fine.

Best way to backup would be to use File>Settings>Backup Application data folder.

It looks to be a jumbled mess in there. Something went horribly wrong. What it best method to clean house and start over?

The essence of simplicity - once you know it is there.

Thank you, serendipity. It the great universal scheme of things this is not the first time you have pulled my bacon out of the fire. :D
