I get the following Configuration Error Dialog Box when I first open Phoenix: 
"Configuration Warning:
An error occurred reading the startup configuration file.  Please contact
youradministrator.  Syntax Error:  illegal character"

This problem occurred when my computer suddenly shut off and restarted. 

Once I open Phoenix and open another window the dialog box does not reappear,
how can I fix this?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  My computer suddenly shut off and windows ran a scandisk upon restart
2.  When I open PHoenix for the 1st time after starting windows
3.




I lose all my settings in Preferences.

Start Phoenix by "phoenix.exe -ProfileManager" to make a new profile.
Be sure to backup bookmarks and so on.

Could you please make a clean reinstall, by deleting both your phoenix program
directory and your phoenix profile directory and see if the problem still occurs.

This looks like a file corruption issue to me. If Phoenix works fine after the
reinstall, please close this bug and mark it WORKSFORME.
