Eror on Windows startup

Post by jjocsak »

When Cumulus (ver. 1.9.1 989) starts up after restarting my machine I get the following error:

As soon as I close this dialog box and immediately start Cumulus manually it starts fine.

The bug report is attached.

How do I stop this from happening?

Thanks
Jeff

I assume that you mean that you have Cumulus set to run automatically when Windows starts, by some method? When it starts up, the component which saves the screen position writes the current position to cumulus.ini. It seems that it is unable to do that:

exception message : Unable to write to .\Cumulus.ini.

This is possibly a permissions problem, or more likely that whatever method you are using to start Cumulus automatically isn't setting the current/working directory to the Cumulus directory, so the code can't find the cumulus.ini file.
