   I suggested a new archived version because his might be corrupted and could be   
   the cause of a corrupted exe.  Of course you would delete the corrupted exe   
   first

   Yes, I have that.  Several of us have been subject to a corrupt config file

   That will likely require more knowledge then a lot are capable of, including me
