New computer - honorbuddy no longer works, no login screen

[rodpulse]

Hi all,

Just got a new computer, and upon reinstalling Honorbuddy I've found that it doesn't work as it used to. Basically, when I try to run it as administrator, it launches the application, but it doesn't ask for a login or anything else and the Honorbuddy window comes up with nothing populated (no text, values in drop-down, etc.).

Here's the info in debug. Any help would be appreciated!

do your windows updates, and install the .Net Framework 3.5 Sp1. and that should do it for you.

if cng's comment doesn't work...

delete the settings folder and try again

Cheers guys. I went with KA's suggestion first - mostly because I'm lazy - and it worked a treat! Back online!
