This has just started happening. When I click on the icon to start Barca, it begins to start, and then disappears. When I have task manager running, I see it briefly appear in the list and then disappear. No error message. Nothing. I tried reinstalling Barca without success. It helped for a day or so and then began doing this again.

Update: I decided to try the instructions in another post about changing the compatibility choices and it worked, though I had to use the compatibility option for Windows NT (Service Pack 5) because there were no compatibility options for Windows XP at all. I'm not sure why this works but am glad it does.

Seems to me SP5 gives problems to Barca.
Glad to know those instructions worked Jamie.

Does changing that setting change the way Barca works? Also, I actually don't have SP5, I don't think. When I look at the system description, it says I have SP3.

Can't verify it here, since I'm on Vista.

Better change the subject then.
I'm not following those service packs.

Interestingly, the beta runs fine without changing the compatibility settings. If I hadn't reinstalled Barca (the regular version) a couple of times, I'd think it could be a corrupt file of some kind, but if I'm importing it all to the beta, that theory is out...isn't it??

Same here.

Indeed, if a file became corrupt, I guess you'll have problems with the beta too
or perhaps the beta didn't import that file :?:

Weird
