CCDciel help - Windows 7

[TakMan]

Can anyone help a Mac user with this Windows 7 (32bit) issue please...?

I had a great night's imaging last night, but at the end when closing down, I think CCDciel hung....

On shutdown the machine showed some sort of 'dos' screen.

On start-up this evening it also had another 'dos' style screen.

Once the laptop had then booted up, CCDciel would not start up and I got this message:

SkyChart / Cartes du Ciel loads up, plus PHD2, I can connect to the mount via ASCOM.

I found the 'properties' for the drive and ran 'DiskUtility' or whatever it's called.

Still no joy, so I updated CCDciel to the latest version and I still get this same message.

What am I doing wrong..?! Being a Mac user, I've no idea where to start with this!

Hope ysomeone can help....?

Regards,

Damian

For future reference, the remedy:

The CCDciel configuration file was corrupted by the crash. 
The program makes a backup copy that can be used to recover.

Use Windows Explorer to open the directory show in the screenshot, or type directly this path to the Explorer: %LOCALAPPDATA%\ccdciel\
In this directory delete the file ccdciel.conf
Then copy ccdciel.conf.bak and rename as: ccdciel.conf
 

Try CCDciel to see if it starts...
