Was working, but this morning I have this error message come up when I tried to open MCEBuddy. This is the latest donator version installed about a week ago after uninstalling the previous version. All of that went fine until this morning. Also, don’t seem to see an email address to contact suppo…

Reinstalled mcebuddy and opened mcebuddy and it still is not connecting to mcebuddy service, even though t…

Thanks for the leads. Although I had done many uninstalls and reinstalls, I hadn’t deleted the directorywhere mcebuddy resided before. As I have a very extensive configuration setup, which I keep backed up, I decided to give that a try. That worked, so there must have been something in the direct…
