4.1.11 is much newer than 4.1.2  :D

Interesting what you are all saying but I will stay with my AOO 4.1.2 that does everything I want and even allows me to solve problems for my win using friends.

Uninstalled. Rebooted. No problem.

Re-installed. Shut down. No problem.

Restarted, Got the IFX error...

Glenn,

Looks like you may have some other INI problems, and perhaps the uninstall/install process simply highlighted them?

Are you able to get back to a working config?

If YES, I would recommend running checkini to see what it finds.

For my part, that is pretty much the approach I take to each significant App upgrade:

1) clean existing INIs
2) save backup of INIs
3) execute the upgrade
4) save backup of INIs
5) clean new INIs

...yup, a bit tedious and time consuming but for the most part that has proven itself to be a reliable approch to producing a good outcome.

From a more specific hints/topics perspective, how about tossing this into your CONFIG.SYS if you don't have this already:

SET DESKTOP=x:\DESKTOP

where: 'x' is your boot drive.
