You might have a problem with your user name. The program doesn't like spaces or non alpha/numeric characters. The only "special" character it will take is an underscore _ .

Try changing your user name and see if that solves the problem. It did for me.

Searching around on one of my "folders" .. I had cause to open its client.cfg just to make sure it was posting for me (have you noticed there have been no more posts to that Y account!) anyway in notepad the text string doesn't look like the printed version and could make editing complex for some.

I found that if you delete this file and run the client again (at least version 2.17) it creates a new client.cfg and asks for your user name and team number etc.

In case that helps ....

Please check out my post from yesterday......just run the client
from a dos prompt with the -config after it. It will prompt you
for all the information again. Only do this if you checked the
client cfg and see it's wrong. I'm getting this info from the
Yahoo news groups and the Main Man himself 'Vijay' who runs
the program. There are far too many cases of the client.cfg
getting screwed up by editing it directly.
