Newsbin v6.50 RC4-Crash On Options Screen

Postby oberron » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:15 am

Hello,
Just downloaded and installed Newsbin 6.50 RC4 with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) SP-1. Both Newsbin and Windows are new installs on an Intel i7 CPU with 6-GB memory. The only thing I've done after installation was to pull up the options screen. Once the option screen appears, I then attempt to close it and the program crashes. Doesn't matter if I make changes or not. I've attempted restarting the PC and reinstalling Newsbin but no luck? Also, O/S and Newsbin are installed on an internal Western Digital hard drive. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

What language did you install? Any errors here might point to a bad language.dll file.

Hello,
It was English. Is that the default? What would be the best way to fix this? Thanks for the reply!

We're not even sure why it's crashing on you so, it's sort of a guessing game.

1 - Reboot. See what happens.

2 - If the reboot doesn't fix it.Uninstall then look for the Newsbin folder in "Program Files" or "Program Files (86)" and if you see this folder, delete it and re-install.

It sounds like the language.dll doesn't match the new install of Newsbin.

Hello,
Thanks, that took care of the issue. However, I'm getting another error. When I attempt to download the group list It hangs and says RestartPauseTime. If I go to server options it shows there under servers, as if it's another server with a red x? Newshosting is the only server I've added. I've tried deleting GroupsDB3 and re-downloading but did the same thing. Thanks!
