i just tried to load the newest beta 1.3.1.9, disabled my a/v software out of habit, but when i start cfsm, it gets to "loaded settings file" and freezes.  after a while then i get the "not responding" message and i have to kill it to get out.  running win7.    

 

this showed up when i tried to upgrade to latest/greatest because i had found my old version 1.3.0.8 had a couple glitches.  before i submitted them i thought i would try to catch back up with the real world, but i'm not quite there yet. 

 

any suggestions?

Have you tried deleting the whole CFSM folder located in My Documents and then doing the scan? (Most likely it's got something to do with difference in how song info is saved in these two versions. )

i have saved the cfsm on a specific drive, and i moved that folder (the one with my older version), but i didn't delete it.  I'll give that a try and reload the new version to make everything as clean and fresh as i can.  my norton just picked a trojan.gen from customforgesongmanager.exe, even though i have it set to exclude.  i'll make sure my a/v is offline while i'm doing this also in case the exclusion isn't working for some reason.    thanks for the suggestion

interesting...  i deleted all instances of the old cfsm that i could locate, did a fresh download of the 1.3.1.9 file with my norton a/v turned off, only to get a red download flash saying that a virus or malware was present.  i opted to continue, but with the same results. cfsm starts, and as the log file populates it hangs up at settings file.   i think i will go back to the older release and see what i can do with that. 

latest update.  again, i cleared out anything cfsm i could find.  i downloaded the 1.3.0.1 release with the a/v off and didn't have any issues there.  started cfsm and again it hangs at the saved settings loaded.    could there be a file or something i'm not seeing and end up missing?

something i just noticed today when i tried to do load the 1.3.0.9 version, it still loads the 1.3.1.9 setup file.
