Hi Ken,

Would you please find the file %APPDATA%\BleachBit\BleachBit.ini? This is the configuration file. (If you need help finding it, let me know.) And would you please either attach it or email it to me at ahz001 at gmail dot com?

Second, please delete (or rename) the file, and then start BleachBit again.

Changed in bleachbit:
milestone: none → 1.10

Weird: the bleachbit.ini file you sent looks normal except one line
auto_hide = T

Normally all the booleans are spelled out like True instead of T. Either deleting the file (to reset it) or changing T to True should fix it.

For a future release I will make the system resistant to a crash in this area.
