How about the old "bring in a backup copy of the .RB1 file"? I've never tried it, but it's an easy thing to do. Rename the .rb1 you have now, bring in another one and see if it works

Maybe compare a backup with the corrupted on and change accordingly.

Tried and all the happens is the settings box constantly pops up. I had to use the Task manager to get it to stop.

As I said, I have looked at the DB with RCOPE and that did not show any errors. It did however show that the settings were messed up. I have tried copying over to the directory a CFG file from another location. That did not work. I tried fixing the settings while in the explorer mode. It will not allow me to change anything. When I connect in the explorer mode, I get a WRITE error but it does allow me in the DB. But then the settings are all wrong.

These settings are very strange. There is a CFG file in the same directory as the DB. The CFG file has all the proper settings. I am stumped.

Find a backup and copy it back into the directory with the R:Base executable.
