BUG ID: 39000
DATLN1: klskjaaa
DATLN2: List index out of bounds (0)
DATLN3:

Now, I have tried a full install then re-boot and full install. Still same error. I have tried running in administrator mode and under Windows XP SP2 mode and both at the same time, same issue.

Currently running Vista X64. I have Q9550 (Core Duo Quad 2.83 mhz), 2 x 2GB Ram DDR2 800, and harddrives, I dunno if my computer matters. I do have Service Pack 1 installed. All updates installed.

Please advise at your earliest!

Thank you,

Slipmat

One more thing, also tried installing in another directory, same issue. It must be something in the registry somewhere?

Thanks,

Perhaps one of your configuration files is corrupt, usually the main setup.dat file. Try moving all of the .dat files out of the configuration data directory and run NL again. If there error goes away then it was one of those files. You could move a few of the files back in until you find the corrupt file.

You can find the location and explanation of each configuration file at http://www.newsleecher.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6766

Uninstalling and reinstalling will not remove the configuration files.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm having the same problem. Where are the .dat files? I have no dat files listed in C:\program files/newsleecher, even if I show all files. Thanks!

The link in my post above details the location of the configuration files.

A horrible crash causing this error has lead me here. *Some people actually search and read??? WOW!* I know.

Anyway, after finding this info, which was helpful, but could have included some of the new .dat files which actually happened to be what was causing my issue with the RnE acting up everytime I opened the program.

I've narrowed it down to zlCache.dat or zlSets.v02.dat which is the culprit. And in your link, while it has many details, it doesn't have any info on what those two are about. And I think an nlScheduler.dat doesn't show up either. And they may be more in the newer versions. While I don't really care, cause I just wanted to fix my problem, it may prove to be useful to someone else. Thought I'd bring that to light in case you wanted to add onto your list of the .dat functions. Or if not, totally understand. Maybe a hassle to keep that list updated. Been there, done that.

zlSets.v02.dat was definitely the problem for me. I closed NL, deleted that file, and reopened without issue.

I assume someone has reported this as a bug since this should obviously be cleaned up on error (as the error message suggests)?
