    So for this bug, what this is saying is that your AutoHotKey is being used by another program, and LaunchBox can't get access to it for some reason. LaunchBox should handle this more gracefully instead of just an error and maybe kicking you out, (?) but this isn't a bug per se.

    Sorry for replying late. Just made an account. The issue happened with the beta after launching BigBox which crashed for some reason (had some xml errors before - known issue which emumovies) and launchbox was unable to start after thatand showed the error above. Just a complete reinstall fixed it.

    Instead of a full reinstall, there is a folder in the LaunchBox root folder called backup. In there are XML Backups that get created. All it should have taken was a few XML's back, and change their name to LaunchBox.xml and starting up LB. If that didn't work you can keep going back 1 at a time until one works.

    Yep, that was the first thing I did. I think the error disappeared, but I wasn't able to import anything (but that was the emumovies issue that is already known). All good now, just wanted to report this little hiccup :)
