Hi,

I keep getting an error message whenever I try to type a value or type anything in, in any of the boxes!

It will let me carry on typing providing I keep clicking OK after every character I press (which will take forever), but still, pressing enter has no effect and just beeps at me when I try to press enter or type anything!

The message I keep getting refers to a Plugin problem I seem to have saying:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plugin X

There was an error while changing the value

OK

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas? I also get another much bigger error with a long message attached saying something about it is having trouble accessing mainmenu.map because it is being used by another process?!...

Attached is the error message, though most likely pointless, but do I need an extra program to make this program work right or what?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

Thank you for reading, and I hope someone can help!

Doesn't really make much sense, but sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, but on occasion I can now make that window work without crashing and coming up with critical errors and what not, so that's always a good thing, plus when I did get it working, my maps were added to the main menu, so that's all that really matters! Thanks for reading anyway...

DotHalo is a very good program but is also very beta.
I've noticed a similar problem when trying to add new maps to main menu. The problem is apparent when you type an illegal character in either the Value or Next Value filed. If you are trying to remove a map from the list, the value needs to be '-1' and next value '0'. If you type - then 1 it crahes, typing the other way around seems to work, ie 1 then move the cursor to the front and type -. Also make sure you have the .Net framework installed.

Ps. Props to the Author of DotHalo, keep up the good work.
