Where are my settings?

[par]

Thank you!
I don't see anything suspicious with this options.xml
I've tried running YoWindow with it on my Windows 8 laptop and the options are saved without any problem.

Probably it is an XP specific problem.

In order to fix this I need your help.

Can you try the following test.

1. Launch YoWindow
2. Add new location
3. Exit YoWindow via main-menu/Program/Exit - only this way
At this very moment YoWindow saves the settings to the hard drive.
4. Launch YoWindow again.
Can you see the new location on the list?

5. Restart your PC
Can you see the new location on the list?

YES, THE NEW LOCATION IS ON THE LIST

Now options.xml is

Until some months ago, with a previous version, there is no problem.

So that means YoWindow is not able to save settings on exit when computer is restarting on Windows XP.
I need time to investigate this problem and to take a required action.
Unfortunately I'm very short on time.
I have added this to my task list and I'm going to take care about it as soon as I can.

Damn!!! Wouldn't you know it, it happened again this morning when I turned my computer on.

It's showing Wollongong (which is way south of Sydney and has never been selected) instead of my saved selections, Dee Why and Taree.

BTW... I now have 3S build 147

Please try this advice as a temporary workaround

Yes, did that and it worked. When I turned my computer on this morning my options were as I had set them. Let's hope it stays that way.
