I somehow managed to corrupt my main help file after an error acted weirdly on my machine. Is there any way of obtaining the main page (I have all the others), without reinstalling?

one way is to just run an update like 7.5 beta 13, that should put it back.

Word of caution: If you reinstall an update (should work, btw), if you simply allow it to place your files in the same location, it will overwrite your project files. To be safe, I would move your current project files to another location, do the update and then manually move them back.

quite agree with backing up your project files however I have never lost my projects in the projects files, have folder inside project files and it been there since 2003 and not been attack by any update.

This happen to me once, though it happen without an error. Just the next time I loaded up the help files the main was blank, weird. Luckily I back them up when I edited the main to include plugins.

Yes, it happened to me once also. Unfortunately, all of my files were not backed up.

That's a great idea, think I'll give mine further maintenance.

Just remember to make newmain.htm file so when you do an DarkBasic update you just copy and rename it main.htm or you'll be remaking it all again. took three updates till I worked out there a better way of doing it.
