Okay I will try that as soon as I have some free time and let you know if it goes well (fingers crossed). If INI corruption is the culprit, does that mean I won't be able to re-import my current prefs in the clean install? (Sorry if you've adressed this already, as I said I'm working on a big project and didn't have time to read every post, just skimmed the thread). If that's the case I'm not sure I want to give it a try, I really use clips and saved searches all the time and it would be a problem to lose them. Is it possible to install 12 in a separate folder to keep both versions, or would there be conflicts somewhere?
No worries about my prefs, they are backed up in the same folder with the sigil install .exes on a different drive to the system (and now I'm thinking I might make a second backup in the cloud), I will definitely keep them safe. But please do always remind us to make a new backup if it's necessary when updating; I had a backup already but it was pretty old, I would have lost some very useful things so I definitely appreciate the alert. I'll try to do that routinely before every upgrade but a reminder is good.
