  • May be Fatal

    From IronMan@VERT to All on Sun Jul 2 19:21:46 2017
    I may have messed up bad. I was modifying my default.src file to change some menu options and got things
    a little screwed up. Figured I just needed a copy of the original default.src to compare since baja is not really
    my thing. I installed a new copy of SBBS in a different DIR call C:\SBBS_TEMP and retrieved the default.src
    file and compared and found where the problem was at an fixed it. I then un-installed the C:\SBBS_TEMP
    leaving only the original copy, but when I try to run SBBS now its looking for everything in the
    C:\SBBS_TEMP instead of the original DIR. Any idea of how or even if this can be fixed?

    Thank you.

    Your "SBBSCTRL" environment variable is most likely pointing to "C:\SBBS_TEMP\CTRL" now instead of "C:\SBBS\CTRL". This wiki page will give you instructions on how to set/fix it: http://wiki.synchro.net/config:env

    PERFECT! That got me back up and running. Was thinking I ruined my BBS :-))

    Thanks again for the help.
