[WillyB]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

After installing the latest daily-build and noticing some error's still inside 
I wanted to reinstall the 1.0.2 version.

Shame on me: i took the dutch 1.0 and noticed some menu's item (and all email 
wasn't) displayed.
(see attachent)

even after installing 1.0.2 english the problem stays... and there is no way 
it looks like to full-reinstall TB anymore... Now only installing windows 
again gives me back my email (becouse importing in other software still isn't 
possible).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a version
2. Install dutch 1.0
3. Try to get back all menu's and operation of TB... no way!
Actual Results:  
Menu gone (first 3 items)
Email not visible (does still excist on harddrive)

Expected Results:  
after reinstalling 1.0.2 english: working TB.

Maybe good to tell: The workaround!

i solved the problem by deleting all in
 /document and settings/<username>/application data/<TB dir>/

directly after this TB started up again, and i could re-configure.
