M&M 2nd ed. Not loading

There's an attachment (not visible in the Quick Reply) icon for attaching certain file types. Could you zip up your user rules and attach them?
 
Just to be clear, is this the entire 2E data file or is this one of your .user files?

If it's the latter, navigate to your data directory ("C:\HeroLab\Data\mutants" on my computer), zip up your .user file, and click on Post Reply (or click Go Advanced at the bottom). Click on the paperclip (to the right of the smiley and font options). In the pop-up box, browse to your ZIP file, select it, and then click the Upload button. Add a bit of descriptive text and then click Submit Reply.

If it's your regular 2E file... I want to say this has happened before. The topic probably still exists in this forum.
 
The entire data file. I can load everything else I have, like the 3e data file, but not this one.

I've got to go now, lunch with a grandparrent. If you could point me to that other thread that would be great, otherwise I'll serch for it when I get back.
 
What error message are you getting? Without knowing that, it's hard to know what to suggest. :(

As a last resort, you can re-download the 2e data files from the updates mechanism, and check the "Delete all files not replaced by import" box - that will restore you to a "vanilla" set of data files. However, it will delete any custom data files you created, so be sure to back those up first.
 
Alright, I just nuked the whole program from orbit, and now I can load the datafile... I'm going to have to rebuild all my powers for campagin, but whatever.
 
That sucks - if this happens in future, you can copy the "user" files out of the data folder and re-use them. Please let me know if this happens again, as it sounds like a bug in Hero Lab that we need to fix. :(
