AttributeError prevents application from opening

[Earthisthering]

This is the first time I have tried using this program; it is a completely clean install of the latest version (0.98). I am running Windows 7. I have Python 2.7 installed.
When I try to open acbf.exe in any way, I receive a message stating that "Errors occurred".
The log file is as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "acbfv.py", line 131, in <module>
  File "acbfv.py", line 123, in run
  File "main.pyc", line 27, in __init__
  File "preferences.pyc", line 11, in __init__
  File "preferences.pyc", line 50, in load_preferences
  File "preferences.pyc", line 70, in set_value
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

This occurs whether or not I am trying to open a comic file, through the command line as well as the graphical file manager.
I found an older version of the program (0.6), which seems to work without issue.

Hi,

can you check if you have C:\Users\[username]\acbfv_conf directory and in it a preferences.xml file? It should look like this:

<preferences>
  <version>0.98</version>
  <bg_color_override>False</bg_color_override>
  <bg_color>#000000</bg_color>
  <fullscreen_toolbar_hiding>True</fullscreen_toolbar_hiding>
  <image_resize_filter>0</image_resize_filter>
  <image_stretch>True</image_stretch>
  <scroll_step>2</scroll_step>
  <popup_text_showing>False</popup_text_showing>
  <progress_bar_showing>True</progress_bar_showing>
  <progress_bar_width>3</progress_bar_width>
  <progress_bar_color>#aaaaaa</progress_bar_color>
  <normal_font>Default</normal_font>
  <emphasis_font>Default</emphasis_font>
  <strong_font>Default</strong_font>
  <code_font>Default</code_font>
  <commentary_font>Default</commentary_font>
  <font_color_default>#000000</font_color_default>
  <font_color_inverted>#ffffff</font_color_inverted>
  <library_books_per_page>5</library_books_per_page>
  <library_cleanup>True</library_cleanup>
  <library_layout>0</library_layout>
  <library_default_sort_order>1</library_default_sort_order>
  <default_language>0</default_language>
  <autorotate>False</autorotate>
  <tmpfs>False</tmpfs>
</preferences>

Try deleting all files in acbfv_conf directory all the whole directory and run the application again. BTW, you don't need to have python to run acbf.exe. In my Win7 virtual machine all runs fine.

Robert: wonderful! That seems to have fixed it. Thanks a bundle!
