Hey Jim,
It sounds like you enabled the spell checker in preferences, but you do not have the spell checker installed on your computer. Search the internet for instructions to install Aspell in windows. (Or just un check the box).

I have seen this happen before. In my case, I put a comma in the name of a radio connection (e.g. Austin, TX) and the config file interpreted that as an invalid field being added and then nothing worked. If you can remember what you did before it stopped working, you could manually edit the config file and remove whatever you did. Failing that, just delete the config file and D-RATS will prompt enter your callsign, just as if it was a new installation.

Jim,
I had something like this. It turned out to be a corrupt message. Try going into your Windows file directory C:/users/yournamehere/Appdata/Roaming/DRats/Messages
and delete everything but the .DB file (one .DB file in outbox, inbox, etc.).?
Worked for me.
Good luck.

Not sure how to do this.

Thanks anyway.

Jim
 

Messages are kept in your Users/UserName/Appdata/Roaming/D-RATS-EV file/messages ?folder.? Watch out for very large (60K or larger) messages.? Some HTML messages can be very large and D-Rats does not know how to display?them. ?

Also, if this is a new setup, I found that it is not a good idea to try to link to an active email account with a large number of saved messages on the server.? D-Rats will try to reach out and download the entire database and will choke on it.? Ask me how I know, lol.
