I have the latest version, but it crashes every time I try to open Output to alter or add an alias or trigger. In fact, it crashes any time I try to do anything with my preferences.

Where is the MUSHclient folder located on your computer?

Please help us by advising the version of MUSHclient you are using. Use the Help menu -> About MUSHclient.


"Latest" is ambiguous.

In my downloads folder. That's where I had my last version, too.

Also, yeah, sorry. It is version 5.03. I tried it on a previous version, too, and it still won't work.

That's odd. What version of Windows are you using? Do you get any other messages? When I make my entire folder read-only I see this when attempting to change a global option:

Windows 10 x64. No other messages.

Message reads: "Mush client has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution." It doesn't find a solution and closes.

Try moving the MUSHclient folder to the desktop and see if that fixes it.

Sorry. 30 minute timer before I could post again. It was my Windows update. It's working now! Thanks for your help! Feel free to delete this thread. :X

I'll leave it here in case it happens to someone else. :)

There should be a way to reset the timer if someone with thousands of posts replies to the thread...

There is a link you can click next to the user's name "Mark as trusted", Fiendish. You could always click that. :)

Good point. I'll remember to use that.
