Hi Dustin,

Is it possible that when editing the .bgi file with notepad it became corrupted?
If you really did this, yes - it is possible.  The .bgi file is a binary file, and is meant to be created and modified by BgInfo.  So, it would seem you would have to recreate the .bgi file using BgInfo, or restore the .bgi file from a backup  that was made prior to the destructive edit.

OK, first post here. I continuosly get an "Error Loading d:\sysinfo\dbGood.bgi" when trying to load a .bgi file that was designed to work with BGInfo.exe.
 
I have tried to do this with the command line as well and it just loads the default template and countsdown which I abort to not overwrite the .bgi file I am trying to load.
 
Any suggestions?  Is it possible that when editing the .bgi file with notepad it became corrupted?
