If !MC5 cannot start due to corrupted configuration files, it is possible to restore one of the last working configurations: With each successful start !MC5 automatically creates a configuration backup. This can be restored using the !MC5 tools.
1 To do this, either run the !MC5 tools either via the item File / Open !MC5 Tools in the main menu of !MC5, or start the program via the corresponding entry in the Programs menu of Windows. You can also execute the file mc5restarter.exe in the installation directory of !MC5 directly.
2 Click the Restore a !MC5 data backup button.
3 Select the Restore automatic backup (configuration only ) item.
4 Select the appropriate backup. Up to five backups of the last five successful launches of the program are available.
5 Click Restore to restore the selected backup.
