Those are one of those odd errors that users get on occasion. It is something to do with the way the application is deployed. Try going to the control panel and under add/remove programs, locate it and then install it.
Head to the website using IE and install it again. (See page one of thread for link). Let me know if this solves the problem and I will research it and see if I can see another solution.
After you uninstall it, please reboot the computer before you try installing it again. Sorry for the problems. And thanks for reporting it.
When I am in a streak, I update the program quite a bit, so it could be any thing that I have added since you last ran it successfully. I am thinking that I added a math routine a few days ago for some math functions I needed and that may be the culprit.
Let me know the results. You can e-mail me directly at

Since I am here, I added a few more tidbits (surprised?). Some you may never see appear in your league, but if you do, you sure will be surprised! I added a few more options and I removed the really cool looking buttons and replaced then with a menu bar. While the buttons were easier to use, I needed the screen real estate.
I also added the ability to merge in a text file. It does no checking, so use at your own discreation. One thing to keep in mind is the game only supports hint lines that contain 256 characters or less. I am not sure what happens if they are longer, if it will crash or just trunacate it. I will test that one day.
I also added the ability to sort the list. It does not save it in sorted format, since that is meaningless, but it will help you find what options you want to disable because of too many items.
Another item I added is a quick way to load the hint.txt file into your default text editor. So, after you use my program you can use this option and then remove any lines that you want to. Then save it back. Note that the saved version is not loaded into my program. Once again, there would be no need to do that.
