Can't see the files downloading, then it corrupts

When I open DC now, after i've opened the Hubs, I cannot see what I am downloading at the bottom- it is simply invisible but the program is working and still downloading. Then after a while, it corrupts and closes. Please help!!

1) are you using DC++ from this site?
2) Either delete the line containing MainFrameWidths in dcplusplus.xml or simply delete the entire file
3) DC++ closes itself? If so, post the most recent entry in Exception.txt

I have tried what you said, but nothing happened.

It has stopped corrupting. It still downloads the files but it does not display the downloads, speed, user etc.

Close DC++, delete the file dcplusplus.xml from the DC folder, then restart DC.

Doing this:

will fix that.... Unless you do it while DC++ is running. In which case it will do absolutely nothing.

I also assumed wigman15 may not have followed BSOD2600 advice correctly, which is why I repeated the instruction to just delete the file, sometimes it is easier, than trying to explain how to edit the file, depending on the user of course.

Sure, there's no harm in repetition.
