I came in to work this morning, started up Toad and got the alert that there was a newer beta available so I downloaded and installed it but now it won’t start up. I have rebooted my PC and even uninstalled and reinstalled the beta but it’s still the same - when I double-click the icon, I get the little blue circle for a few seconds as it thinks about it, I sometimes get the briefest flicker of the splash screen and then that’s it, nothing else. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark.
I made some changes to the startup logic that may be problematic. I'll take a look and add additional debug output for today's beta so we can see how far along we get before Toad stops.

Ok thanks Michael. Can you let me know when the beta update is available as obviously I can’t use Toad to check for updates at the moment - I’m back on 12.10.0.30 until it’s working!
Mark, try today’s beta. If it’s still not starting for you then add DEBUG=1 to the [SETTINGS] section of your Toad.ini and try again. Send the User Files\ToadDebug.txt file that is generated.
Thanks,
Michael
Hi Michael,
The new beta still didn’t work so I added the debug as requested. The debug file stops at the line “Moving TOAD_GUI2.INI to GUISettings” so I went into the GUISsettings folder and renamed the existing TOAD_GUI2.INI to TOAD_GUI2.INI.OLD and tried to launch Toad again and this time it worked. For some reason, Toad was having trouble overwriting the existing file. I have since closed down Toad and reopened it and it is still working fine.
For some reason now though, when I start up Toad, I get an extra little dialog box appear titled Toad Memory Usage which is empty unless I click the Fetch button – is this anything to do with the problem I’ve been having? Is there an option I need to set to stop it appearing?
Thanks,
Mark.
You can remove the debug INI flag now and that box will disappear. Thanks for the help, that's all I need to fix for next beta.
Thanks,
Michael

Excellent, thanks.
Mark, thanks for that bit of information. I was having trouble starting Toad after the .61 update and same with .62. The rename did the trick.
Happy to help [:)]
