I wonder why I actually put an e-mail address on both the Fate page and the about box. %)
It seems that something went wrong during installation… which version of Fate did you install? On which operating system? Did you install with admin rights?
If you open a DOS (cmd) box and type
echo %userprofile%
what does it print on screen? Did you install on a removable or write protected disk by any chance?
The only disk access that Fate performs during startup is
a) trying to read the config file fate.ini
b) trying to load the GUI description and the button icons
If the first one (a) fails, then you should not receive an error message.
If the latter (b) fails, then you won’t have much fun using Fate.

Cooper, Have you given up on FATE now?
Or is there still that Nasty bug in the simplification code you cant find?

Cooper, if you’re using GTK I remember there’s a bug in one of the win32 runtimes that caused a dialog box like this to appear.

@Rookie One:
Thanks for the hint… I found the following using google:
This basically happens when one of your drives has been assigned the drive letter I: which often happens if you’ve got a card reader plugged in. The quick and easy solution is to remove the card reader. A better solution - especially if your card reader is built into the computer - is to reassign the drive that is currently assigned I: another letter. Er, like J: for instance.
@psyco_mario:
No worries… I haven’t given up… I am just short of time once more
I nearly completely redesigned the simplification code… it is not perfect yet, but there are some first results I can show you guys… the triangle count is reduced to 58 percent in this example:
