Thanks for your work on this Chris. And Jon, too.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Could you please supply some more details? I'm not aware of any issues with it. If it installed correctly, then corruption can't be the issue. Is there any other software which could be breaking it, e.g. antivirus software?

We can pursue this in the BPBible support forum if there's no quick and easy fix.

Hi I already had the last version of bpbible on my 4gb usb drive.
I downloaded and installed the new version over the old.
When I try to open the program it attempts to open but then i get the following message.....

BPBible - Flexible Bible Study has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something, the informatiuon you were working on might be lost.
Then the usual please tell microsoft about this problem message.

Error signature.
AppName: bpbible.exe AppVer: 0.4.5.1 ModName: bpbible.exe
ModVer: 0.4.5.1 Offset: 0000211e

I have also downloaded the program again and installed on another usb drive with the same results.
I have also tried both usb drives on three seperate computers two running windows xp one running Vista.

P.S. previous version worked okay.
Hope this info helps.

Could you try renaming the Data folder to something else to check if it's data corruption?

BPBible 0.4.5.1 is exactly the same application as BPBible 0.4.5, rebuilt to prevent crashes. Unfortunately, it seems it introduces other problems. If you are able to create search indexes then it might be safer to stay with 0.4.5 until we figure out the problem.

Hi Chris
Renamed Data folder but no joy.
Same result Bpbible attempts to start then you get following message:
BPBible - Flexible Bible Study has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

I had no problem with old version so intend to return to this till problem solved.
Do you have link to previous version download?
(Must learn to backup before upgrade!!!)

As you know, false positives can happen. And if it's not a false positive, the infection has occurred at your end.

i'll reinstall... why would they target this program? i guess they might be anti-christian... that makes sense, actually

another poster pointed out it might be comodo, and i agreed because it began to behave strangely, asking permission for actions already decided. It must have gone through a large update, i guess... or something. I can reinstall and check again.
