I'm not sure what might be going on here, but one thing that tripped me up
personally was that some options I was using in both my old heather.cfg file
and my command-line shortcut were changed between V3 (which is what I was
running before) and V5. If you somehow get into a situation where LH V5 is
trying to load an older config file, you may need to track down that file and
modify or delete it.
In general, make sure you run the LH setup program while logged in as the same
user that will run the app. Currently the installer always writes heather.cfg
to the current user's documents folder (e.g., c:\Users\johnm\Documents). If
you have a separate admin user on your system and you launch the installer
under that account, heather.cfg may end up in a different directory. That, in
turn, may leave an older copy of heather.cfg lying around for the program to
find.
Still another thing to watch out for, now that heather.cfg is an
officially-installed file, is that subsequent reinstallations of LH will
overwrite any changes you've made to heather.cfg. So you may want to make a
backup if you need to reinstall for any reason after making extensive changes
to heather.cfg.
Future builds will solve both of these problems by having the program itself
create heather.cfg the first time it's run, if the file isn't already present
in {userdocs}. That's really the only right way to install .cfg/.ini files in
Windows-land, but neither of us got around to implementing that for the initial
V5.00 release.
