Which says that the problem was most likely NOT in the changes you made
to the config.

When a new version comes out I _ALWAYS_ install it in a special
directory (for example A190) on the C: drive, the same one I am using
for my normal working copy (in the directory ARACHNE).
I have never had any problems, once the paths in the new version are
corrected.

Hmmmm.... unlikely.... more likely it is something you did.

That is probably the safest way, although it is still possible to make
errors.
For example, to set a local file as your homepage, you can specify it as
either file://whatname.htm or file:whatname.htm or you can include
the full path in either of the above forms.
Leaving out one of the slashes, or getting the path wrong, will confuse
Arachne, as also will miss-spelling the filename.
