Thanks Tom.
I thought that since it wouldn't start, that it wouldn't create the log, but it has. Since I appear to be the only one suffering from this problem, I won't bother the developers at this point, but I'll paste the debug log below ..
"CHIRP daily-20130111 on WinVista/7 (Python 2.7.2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "chirpw", line 50, in <module> File "chirpui\config.pyo", line 108, in get File "chirpui\config.pyo", line 31, in __init__ File "ConfigParser.pyo", line 297, in read File "ConfigParser.pyo", line 504, in _read ConfigParser.MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers. file: C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Roaming\CHIRP\chirp.config, line: 1 '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x0 0\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"
The string of \x00's goes on for about 20 more lines then there's nothing after that. Looks like the key is the Missing Section Header. Can any user throw some light on that one?

Thanks. I've tried both current files now (.exe and .zip 20130111), plus various older versions, and I cannot get Chirp to run on my desktop PC. I can run Chirp without any problems on my laptop and my netbook, but on the desktop (windows 7 Pro 32 bit) when I try to run either the installed version or the stand-alone version and I've tried a number of builds, it appears to start to load, then after a few seconds the little Windows spinning circle thingy just disappears. Nothing shows in Task Manager. What could be causing this?
Whatever it is, I suspect the debug.log explains it. See http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/How_To_Report_Issues for how to find it.
