************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I am not a .NET expert, but based on what I already know about Windows and other computer operating systems, this is the kind of error message that the system would give if one of the .exe files is missing.

#108162 - linus - Mon Nov 06, 2006 1:50 am

I get this error all the time, basically I have to save the ini file (after making my changes) then reload the program, reload the ini and then do the coversion. I think it has to do with path settings (basically it doesnt set the working directory sometimes or something)

#108166 - Payk - Mon Nov 06, 2006 2:34 am

Well...isnt that wrong place here to ask? maybe mollusk knows more...He has a forum for things like that, i guess...
But a little hind: do you have net framwork installed?

#108167 - dj_mindoverload - Mon Nov 06, 2006 2:43 am

#108168 - dj_mindoverload - Mon Nov 06, 2006 2:45 am

#108171 - sectionboy - Mon Nov 06, 2006 4:16 am

but, have you double checked the sizes of your figures? just to make sure they do not have some strange sizes.

#108230 - dj_mindoverload - Mon Nov 06, 2006 10:14 pm

which i made in paint. for backgrounds
