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?
It looks like your config is somehow corrupt. Deleting it--or moving it, as it sounds like you've tried--should resolve the issue.
We may be able to make Chirp more robust so it ignores a corrupt config file by reverting to defaults.
