Thanks for your feedback, Ian. I just looked at the code and suspect
the problem occurs when the program attempts to parse a .ini file from
my web site that contains version info for each of my programs. I have
not changed that code in a few months, so am puzzled why it would start
to be a problem now. Did F11 previously work on that same computer?
The appstamp.ini file is downloaded into the directory for temporary
files (the location is based on a method of the .NET Framework). Could
it be that a security setting is preventing that file from being saved
in your temp directory? Since it is not executable code, I did not
expect this, but that is the only explanation that comes presently to
mind. The file is deleted after being analyzed, so it would not
necessarily be found by a manual inspection.
I'll keep thinking about this.
