i just upgraded my hdd. after i put the developer edition of v2b11 and sync'd, i ran jemplode41 for the 1st time. it gave me the above error. i repeat, this was a CLEAN HDD. why is it doing this? hijack hasnt been installed yet. I also get this on my old hdd when i 1st sync w/ emplode, then open up jEmplode. i've read of the problem before, and i always dismissed it as some file being read wrong by jEmp. this isnt the case anymore.
