HB Client crashes instantly upon login, but ONLY on one particular character!?!?

[superscotty420]

I have been using HB for quite some time with good results but I have a seemingly unusual problem which I've been unable to find any reference to in the support forums.

On most of my characters I can attach HB and run it with no issue, but I have one particular character (a 93 dranaei frost mage) which HB refuses to work with at all. The moment I click "log in," on the window which shows my HB key, the client shuts down completely. No error message or anything is displayed. Since the client never gets past the log in screen, I have no log file to attach. I can camp the mage and log in any other character on the same account, with all the same program settings, and HB works fine. It just seems to not like the one specific toon.

I have re run the buddy wizard, I have removed and re-installed HB, I have tried various window settings, nothing seems to make any difference.

Anyone have a clue what else I can try?

Hi, Superscotty420,

In the future, please attach log rather than cut-n-pasting them.
