Did you have Freda configured so that on start-up it would automatically open the last book you were reading? If so, I can see how you might end up in a 'jammed' situation if that book was broken! Fortunately it's a fairly easy fix for me to make in the code (I can just ensure that Freda turns off the 'auto open last book' feature if the book doesn't load cleanly). As a work-around for now, you have two options - either deleting the temp files, which is what you did, or manually changing the settings file - look in /Program Files/Freda/settings.fst and change the line autoopenlastbook="True" to autoopenlastbook="False"
Generally Freda is going to have problems if you edit a book file (because it when opening a book Freda creates temporary .DAT files for all the chapters, and if they are out of sync with the book file, bad things will happen). I will look at fixing this in code (which probably consists of checking file creation times). In the meantime, a reasonable work-around would be to use a different file name (i.e. if you edit a book, save it under a different file name).
Thanks for the feedback,
