EventGhost Won't Load Configuration File

Post by msake »

Hi,

I just tried out EG for the first time, spent about an hour mapping all the controls I wanted and now after restarting my computer, EG won't load any configuration files. :shock: :evil: :cry:

Very frustrating. What could be going wrong?

Attached is a copy o my configuration file, and here is some of the text from the log:

Unhandled exception in WorkerThread <EventThread>:

You had the macros for PowerDVD listed in the config in front of the plugin for powerdvd. That caused the problem, once you restarted it didn't know what PowerDVD was when it got to those macros.

BTW, the autostart folder isn't where you want your player macros to be - that will cause all of them to run when you start EG. I moved your macros to a different folder (outside autostart) and it loads now.

Here's the updated file.
