Belthan Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) FOMM has been working fine for months, then Windows crashed hard while playing FO3. No alt-tab, no alt-F4, no ctl-alt-del, nothing. Had to cold boot with the power switch. Now when I launch FOMM I get the "fomm has encountered a problem and needs to close" error. Uninstalled FOMM and reinstalled. Same thing. Uninstalled FO3 and reinstalled. Same thing. I figure FOMM had a config file open, Windows crashed so hard the disk buffer didn't get flushed, and the config file got corrupted. Unfortunately, I don't see anything in gemm or Fallout3 folders that might be the culprit. Any ideas? Thanks, Belthan EDIT: never mind, found it. Searched the HD for recently updated files and found a file containing a whole bunch of binary zeroes called user.config in a FOMM directory under my user profile. Deleted it, ran FOMM, had to set it up again, and then it was back to normal. If you have the same problem, the guilty file will be in a directory something like this: C:\Documents and Settings\[your profile name]\Local Settings\Application Data\FOMM.exe_[bunch of gobbldeygook that's probably unique per installation]\user.config Edited September 16, 2011 by Belthan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
