Help! completely broken - "Fatal Error - Error writing settings data (timepoint)

[shawnhar]

I had PI open and lots of files building a mosaic, think I got to the end of my swap file or something, only have about 50gig free at the moment. Anywhoo the computer froze up and I had to hard reset with the power button.
 Now I can't use PI.

 I rebooted, same thing, ran repair, same, uninstalled and ran install again, same. Also checked my computer clock and it updated like an hour ago.
There has to be a registry entry causing this, or some temp file

I thought this was where we are supposed to ask for help regarding this software. Did I post to the wrong place or something?
 I am unable to use the software, it doesn't launch and gives the error in the post title.

Sorry, it's not an error I've ever heard of before.  You don't say, but it sounds like you're running Windows.  What version?  Have you done a full filesystem check after the crash?  I'd also try uninstalling and deleting any files left in Program Files\PixInsight (just in case) and maybe deleting any keys that a search on PixInsight turns up in the Registry.

Cheers,
Rick.

Thanks Rick, it's Windows 7 pro. I didn't run filesys check but that's a good idea, hadn't thought of that.
 I'll try uninstalling and searching the registry before installing again.
