There is a problem with the date/time format of the timestamp in your today.ini file. Windows cannot recognise it as a timestamp. This could be because you have changed your setting in Windows, or perhaps because you are using Croatian, the system routines which decode the timestamp cannot cope with the format - I think this has happened before to someone using Greek settings. If you zip up the diags folder and attach it, together with your today.ini file (from the Cumulus data folder), I'll take a look.

I suspect that the Croatian date format uses some characters which the date parsing routines can't cope with - that was the case with the Greek format. I will try to have a look at changing to storing the timestamp in a fixed format, to avoid the various problems which using the system settings causes.
