When I download vPilot, I get to the final screen during download. As soon as I click on finish I get a message " vPILOT has stopped working. If I try to open vPILOT from the desk top icon I get the same message.

 

Any idea what's causing this?

Check if there is a file called GlobalExceptions here:

 

%localappdata%\vPilot

 

If there is, email it to vatsim {at} metacraft {dotcom}

Hey Ross!

 

I don't know where I should look for that file. I thought my problem could have been due to gremlins in my computer compliments of a teenager plugging a friends thumb drive into our computer. A week later and after $79 to the computer repair guy I uninstalled vPilot and reinstalled, but get the same message.

The location is in my message above. Paste that into a windows explorer address bar, or the start menu search box.

Yup. Tried that and got nothing. Tried the copy and paste after doing it by hand but my search still didn't work.

 

The start menu search box doesn't recognize anything like that.

Try pasting it into the run box ... press Windows-R.

The default path for %localappdata% is C:\Users\[your-windows-username]\AppData\Local\ (Windows Vista and up) or C:\Docomeents and Settings\[your-windows-username]\Local Settings\Application Data\ (Windows XP). Try navigating to the appropriate folder, then find the vPilot subdirectory.
