Installed 2.74 today and the options section will not load. It keeps asking for valid config file. Win 7 (64 bit) tried deleting then clean install will not work. Back to 2.73 and works immediately. cheers ---

Thanks for the report. Can you upload a screenshot of this message that asks for a valid configuration file? Kind regards Florian ---

I have so such problems. Did you change the kind of installation from fixed to portable or vice versa? Did you install MP3tag with a different account than the previous version. To cut it short: I think you have a permissions problem. Sort that out and everything will be fine (because: how could it be that you cannot de-install MP3tag?) ---

Can you please click the globe button on the freedb page and let Mp3tag retrieve the list of servers? This should fix the problem. Kind regards Florian ---

It is fixed now. I had tried replacing a backup .cfg file but still did not work. Clicking the globe was the answer. Thanks for the fast fix & thanks again for a great program. Mp3tag and Flash renamer are the most used programs on my computer. cheers ---
