This application has Unexpectedly Quit
Invocation of this Java Application has caused an Invocation TargetException. This Application will now exit (LAX)

hitting the details button throws up the following

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed \uxxxx encoding.

could this be the reason why GR has been forgetting my URLs recently?? (i had to add the URL of each gallery on loading GR, until about an hour ago, when it started chucking up this error...)
strangely, it was working a couple of hours ago - until, immediatly after uploading some pics to one gallery, i had a BSOD, caused by my graphics card(ASUS V8170DDR - a geForce 4 MX440 - file anv4disp.dll has been casuing random crashes lately), and i was just wondering if there could be any correaltion between the two...
thanks for any insights you might have into this.

Yes, this is a sign the properties file is corrupt. Your best bet it to delete it...

thanks for the prompt reply - but just one more question - where IS this properties file?
theres 3 or 4 in various places in the galery remote folder, and a fair few in the java folder...
