Orbit Downloader crashes upon starting and doesn't run :(
Hello,
I had Orbit Downloader installed on my system for a long time and had no problem with it till recently that all of a sudden it started crashing. That is whenever I click on its icon to run, the Windows Error Reporting window appears reading "Orbit Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close" 
I tried installing / reinstalling it without any success. I have even tried each and every new version of Orbit Downloader coming out (latest one being 2.7.9) to no avail
The interesting fact is that Grabber runs OK and has no problem but the main program cannot start any more The only version of the program which I can run at the moment is the pretty old 1.5.0.3 !!
Please help me overcome this sad problem as I do not wish to uninstall Orbit Downloader
I run on:
Windows XP Service Pack 2
Internet Explorer 7 (7.0.5730.13)
Avant Browser version 11.7 build 16
Firefox 2.0.0.18
Thanks in advance.

Re: Orbit Downloader crashes upon starting and doesn't run :(
Sorry to bring this old topic up but I finally came to know the reason why my Orbit Downloader had stopped functioning and thought it's good to share it with you in a case you faced the same problem as I did too.
It was all because of the Microsoft .NET framework version. I had a version 2 .NET framework installed on my Windows. Today I decided to upgrade it to version 3. I ran a "dotnet version checker" to see what exact version I have and was shocked to see it was no longer version 2 but the pretty old version 1.1!!
I really have no idea how it's changed back to an older version but I upgraded it (again) to MS .NET Framework version 2 (SP1), reinstalled Orbit Downloader, ran it and voila! It started working like charm!!!
It really feels good to see Orbit interface once more after such a looooong time. If I only had checked that dot NET Framework version earlier....
