Shopbot Troubleshooting

Runtime error '13':


You might get this error if you are trying to start the 'Spindle [R]PM Control' from the tools menu in SB3.

The most likely reason for this error to occur is an error in the program settings.

Unlike SB3, the spindle control program has no settings.ini to delete.

Instead it uses the registry to store settings.



In this particular instance i found that the form location and size mysteriously reset to nothing.

Solution
I removed the entire 'Spindle Control' registry key (located at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\ShopBot\Virtual Tools\Spindle Control] ).

The program re-creates this key upon the next restart.
