ScummVM crashes immediately with each game

[corcy]

scummVM crashes when I open it and it report me that " Junk found in line line 117: 'fmtowns'
I updated it to the last version but also it crashes with the same error. maybe a problem with Dos Pc settings???

Sounds like something has gone wrong with your scummvm.ini file. (I don't run ScummVM under Windows myself, so I don't remember off-hand where it's located these days.)

You could either delete it (or move it out of the way, if you want to keep it as a backup), but then you will have to create a new one by adding all your games again. If you're feeling more adventurous, you could try editing it. It's an ordinary text file, so any text editor (even Notepad) should work.

The actual error message means that ScummVM expected a line on the form

variable=value

but that it couldn't find any "=" in the line.

As a note, scummvm.ini can be found in x:\Documents and Settings\YourAccount\Application Data\ScummVM (where x is your drive letter) or if you have used ScummVM since before 0.11.0 (?) it will be in C:\WINDOWS, but it's most likely it's in the former.

Looks like scummvm crashes on first empty line of config (between blocks) or at the end of file.
I installed the newest version but it didn't work on my Medion E4110 (arm) so I downloaded v.0.7.1
I can play but each time before I run scummvm I have to delete scummvm.ini and configure the program again or my PDA freezes and I have to reset it.
