Hi installed Badges a couple of months ago, and then tried to change the meaning of the badges to no success. Today I wanted to try again, but I can't even open the program (the manager). I get a message that can be translated to something like "badgesmanager.exe has found a problem and must terminate".
 What's happening? I run XP and SP2, and at the time I had Excel open.
 I must have the older version, but as I can't open the program I don't know. I don't want to uninstall, then I will loose all the badges I have applied so far. Can I install the newer version over the old one without loosing my badges? Or is that stupid as I am having problems now?

This message was showing only today or it was dispayed and early ?
This error occured with version 1.0.1 or 1.5 ?
Do you was have administrative rights ?
Do you have right to write to files in Badges directory ?

If you was have installed version 1.0.1 and install version 1.5, then you do not need to make any action to move badges-library to new version. This changes was made by automaticaly.
But you may "manually" create backup.
Copy file "base.ini" to any place. Install version 1.5 then in folder
c:\documents and settings\YOUR LOGIN\Application Data\Shedko Badges\
you may see file "YOUR LOGIN.INI" simply replace this file with previostly copied "base.ini"
Sorry for my bad english, may be I'm not correct understand you ?
Yesterday was the first time I tried to open the manager since I installed the program. There was no idea as I couldn't make the changes I wanted (to give the badges other meanings than what is standard). I wrote an email to you about that when I installed the program, but never got any response. I also followed your instructions in the forum, but that didn't work either.
I installed the program in the beginning of December 2006. The folder says Badges 1.0.1.0
I have administrative rights. I have changed in the manager before (the day I installed the program) with no problems.
If I understand you right, I should first back-up the files you mention and then install version 1.5 "on top" of the older version?
