Hi I am having a similar issue with MT as did "Ace" did in August 2011.
see following post for ref
http://forum.manictime.c...ime-stopped-working.aspxI dont have the following folder
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Finkit\ManicTime\Logs
Vista or Windows 7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ Finkit\ManicTime\Logs
I also don't have machine.config.
I have "machine.config.default" and "machine.config.comments"
tried renaming "machine.config.default" to "machine.config. however
comes up with "require permission from trustedInstaller to make changes to this file"
Below is the error log that pops up
System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an exception.
