Does anyone know the solution so I can stop re-installing this damn thing 4-5 times a year? Yes:create a backup copy of sabnzbd.ini.

So that time has come again... 0.7.11... same exact error... blank .ini file. Delete .ini file, still creates a blank .ini file. Haven't re-installed yet. Checked for the .ini.bak file and it is there but blank as well. This is just getting ridiculous. It usually takes me 15-20 minutes to configure ...

Is there no sabnzbd.ini.bak file either?

I don't remember seeing a .ini.bak file to be honest. Since I already re-installed I can't go back to check.

What does the info in IE say exactly? Have you looked at the content of the INI file? "SABnzbd detected a fatal error: "C:\Users\MediaBoxPC\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini" is not a valid configuration file" I checked in the ini file and there was nothing in it. I have since r...

The log looks perfectly normal (but possibly incomplete). Does the System tray icon appear? Possibly you disabled the automatic browser start. I only cut the bottom of the log since it was starting fine then. System Tray icon does not appear, SABnzbd has a internet explorer window that pops up with...

I keep getting a error saying SABnzbd won't start due to a issue with the .ini file. I had this error in the past regarding the .ini file after having SABnzbd running for a year with no issues.
