Anyone know how to help?

Sorry for sounding possibly "duh..." but have you uninstalled, cleaned your registry of all references to it and then re-installed? Looks like it got corrupted somehow.

[VincentIcarus]

No. How do you clean the registry of references?

[csmithsr90]

Do you know how to use the regedit feature in the windows OS? If not it is a dangerous prospect. Open the start button and choose "run". Type in regedit. click on the "edit" menu and then "find" Type in "FOMM" and delete the obviously connected entry. Press F3 for the next entry and delete it. Do this till it says "Finished searching through Registry" Close regedit. Be very careful not to delete anything that may not be FOMM related. You will have to re-install FOMM for FO3 also if you have it installed.

 

Good hunting
