Black screen on startup.

Post by peewee »

For the last couple days I've gotten a black screen on startup (with the local submenus for chat, etc) Is part of the BZ infrastructure down? I'm running 2.4.26 on a Windows 10 box. I did an uninstall and reinstall. I did not delete residual files if they might be corrupt.

Thanks

SOLVED... Black screen on startup.

Solution:

I uninstalled then located and deleted all local files left on the hard drive then reinstalled again. All's good.

Usually when the configuration gets corrupted you'll wind up with an error like this. (It doesn't happen too often, so it's not a big concern.) Just deleting config.cfg tends to solve the problem or replacing it with a known good one.

Glad you managed to fix the problem.

Any idea what might have caused it? Client crash? Multiple clients running? Anything like that?
