Cannot open dialog boxes in Newsbin

Postby pathfinda » Sat May 20, 2017 5:22 am

Weird Issue

About a week ago, when I would attempt to open a NZB file, the dialog box would fail to open properly (White areas where where should be text, failing to find the Drive location, etc)

The default folder is available, and I can create NZB to the folder.

Now, NewsBin closes whenever i attempt to open any dialog box that tries to see anything relate to the drive.

Is there a way to uninstall Newbin, but keep my settings, or am I looking a clean install of Newsbin?

I'm not convinced this is a Newsbin problem. Sounds more like a Windows problem since the dialogs that don't open are actual native Windows dialogs.

1 - Use "Open Data Folder" from the options then close Newsbin.

2 - If you delete every file and folder except for the one ending in ".nbi" this will clear everything including headers and partial downloads.

3 - Restart Newsbin.

See what happens.

Understand that you're the only person who has ever reported this issue. What version of Windows are you using?

So it worked before "Creaters Update" but not afterwards?
