Any time I try to open a blank or saved global mapper file, I am presented with this error: "Error initializing application: Restore toolbar state..." (see attached file)
Started happening today w/o a cause I can identify. I downloaded the latest build to see if that'd fix it, but I get the same error.  Thanks for any help!!!

    Hello,

    It sounds like some information related to the current location of your toolbars has become corrupted.  I suggest that you do the following:
    1. Start the program: regedit (I don't know what version of Windows you are using, but you can probably start it by typing "regedit" in the Start menu search window.
    2. Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Global Mapper\Settings\Toolbars
    3. Right-click on "Toolbars" in the tree view on the left and choose Delete.
    This will delete all of the toolbar layout information, so the toolbars will revert to their default positions, but you should be able to run Global Mapper.

    Cheers,

    Bob
