Aurora not starting

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   One of the (minor) problems that I encountered last year was that on occasion Aurora would not start up for me.  As I recall the issue is that if you close Aurora and the last file you were working with is on a flash drive then the next time you open Aurora you need to open Aurora with the same flash drive.  Well I've tired to open Aurora with 6 different flash drives, only 2 had Aurora files on them, but I tried them all, and it still won't open.

So I had a great idea, simply reinstall Aurora.  Uninstalled Aurora and reinstalled it; still won't open. Any wonderful, great suggestions??

Tks!
Joe

	Did you delete Elvis? If so, put the king back.

	Delete config.dat in your Aurora directory. This will erase all of the settings for last folder used, COM ports, etc.

	All right, deleting the config file did the trick. Thank you Lights. Props to Lights Joe

	Jonathon, I had nothing to do with the King's disappearance. In fact he was in the local Krispy Kreme a few weeks ago; actually three Elvis's were there . Joe
