[Equest-users] eQuest Error on Opening - Invalid Previous Run Date

[Brian Fountain]

I am also seeing the issue.

It seems to be something being written to eQUEST.ini.  I can get around it by having a "clean" (old) copy of eQUEST.ini (with a date before today's) and replacing eQUEST.ini with the clean version before opening eQUEST each time. (which is still a pain but better than reinstalling)

Hi All



I am having issues with eQuest I haven't seen in all of my 15 years of eQuest.



After the first time it happened I uninstalled, reinstalled and it worked 1st time but on closing eQuest and opening it back up again I get this message



Anyone have a fix for this?
