Error during startup of SlickEdit
« on: May 12, 2008, 11:31:04 AM »

When I close and reopen SlickEdit, I get this quite obfuscated error note:


Invalid number argument
file=restore.ex offset=2760


And this is shown in a new text window:

 Slick-C STACK TRACE ******************************
 Created on 5/12/2008 at 14:22:10 (604 ms)
 SlickEdit Version 12.0.3.0 Copyright 1988-2007 SlickEdit Inc.
 Edit module and type "st -f <offset>" to get the
 run-time error position

 error code=-3009
 Invalid number argument

restore.ex 2760 static(MN=Perl   HM=0 MF=8 TL=0 MLL=0 ASE=0 LNL=6 LCF=0 CAPS=0 E=0 ESBU2=-1)
   p_window_id: 5
   p_object: OI_FORM
   p_name:
restore.ex 1084 static(,<empty>,1,0)   p_window_id: 5   p_object: OI_FORM   p_name:
restore.ex 425 restore(I,0,<empty>,1,0)   p_window_id: 5   p_object: OI_FORM   p_name:


Any ideas on what this means, and what should be done to fix this?
Version of SlickEdit used is 12.0.3.0 on Windows XP (SP2).

Rename the vrestore.slk file in your SlickEdit Configuration directory and restart SlickEdit.  (C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USERNAME\My Documents\My SlickEdit Config\12.0.3 is the default Windows location.)

This will load SlickEdit in a standard window state for you.
