************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I'm Guessing the plugin needs an update?

[sub]

Looks like a skin issue in the plugin. It's probably something simple, but imilne is probably gonna need to check it out for you.

[Lao Pan]

Na ! Even more simple than that just noticed all my plugin skin folders had gone missing - works much better with them there

[imilne]

That's my kind of problem
