The program has a built in utility, that, when it detects a problem with any of the operating files
it should go into a automated recovery which replaces the important files with a fresh set and
prompts the user to restart the program. What you posted should never happen. Line 1101
is in the automated recovery code and that line sets the background color for the recovery
screen. What happens if you click "yes" to continue? After a recovery has been performed
the user will need to reload the state because the recovery option builds a set of random
databases, TF31.TXT, TF32.TXT, TF41.TXT and TF42.TXT. It uses these files to ensure the
a clean startup after a recovery. The idea was to prevent a user setting error from crashing
the program and not being able to restart due to the error. The line 1101 error comes before
any of the restore code has a chance to work. Hmmmmm. Since the program defaults to this
code whenever a problem pops up. I guess I need a error trap for the error trap. Right now I
have no idea why this line would cause a error because like I said it just sets a color. Maybe I
need to reset the screen image or something similar. I will check it out and try to come up with
a fix. As a temporary fix I suggest people set the program up for normal use then make a copy
of the Files folder located inside the C:\slider-II install folder. Just copy this file to another location
and then in event of an error one can just copy the folder back into the c:\Slider-II folder. In other
words it will act as a manual backup. Note! The best way to do this would be to create a new
folder inside the C:\Slider-II and call it something like "Recovery" then copy and paste a working
copy of the Files folder into it for safe storage.
