Re: Error/Cannot Start Cumulus
I suspect it may be your Windows date formats that are causing the problems.
When you first run Cumulus it was logging the date formats as:
Long date format: S?ßßat?, 14 ?p?????? 2012
Short time format: 5:30 µµ
I see you have now changed to using 'English' formats, but I suspect that Cumulus has written some 'funny' dates into the today.ini file.
If you really never have had Cumulus running, then I'd try renaming the today.ini file (with Cumulus stopped) to create a backup and then restarting Cumulus so it starts from scratch with the new date formats.
But you need Steve to comment on this really.

Re: Error/Cannot Start Cumulus
Yes, Mark is exactly right. You've changed from Greek to English settings, and Windows can no longer interpret the date formats that it wrote when you were using Greek settings.
