the program crashes after that error, I never even get a chance to see the main window to get to options > preferences.
thanks for the speedy reply, I also tried the dev version you posted above, and the 1.6 version running I'm running windows 7 64bit
edit: (7:20pm) got it working, not sure what I did differently, rebooted, re downloaded the newest version (I already tried this exact step) and it's working now.
edit2: well, I got the program to load. I then went through uploading the pdf, and to assign the kneeboard and it force closed. Now I can't get it working again. Definitely seems to be some kind of issue with my windows, I am using a theme which changes some of the registry keys, would that be an issue possibly? reason I say this is the windows compatibility check thing came up.
here is the event log of the error.
