Receiving "Wrong File Format" When Starting Thetis

Postby Rob52 » Sat Mar 04, 2023 5:48 pm

I'm new to the forum so I would like to start out by saying hello to everyone here.
I ordered the Anan 8000dle Mark II a few months ago. Like most folks I've been reading and learning as much as I can while I wait for the 8000 to arrive.
In the meantime, I downloaded Thetis 2.9.0.6 about a month ago. I have been able to start Thetis and get familiar with the console and all the menus associated with the software. About four or five days ago I started receiving a message "Wrong File Format" at the eight second countdown during startup of Thetis. I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with this issue.
I did uninstall and reinstall with the same results.

Computer:
HP Desktop I7
Windows 11

Thanks in Advance

Uninstall.

Delete everything in this folder:

C:\Users\your-windows-username-goes-here\AppData\Roaming\OpenHPSDR\

Note that this is a hidden directory but if you type the path in manually in File Explorer it will open the directory.

Then reinstall.

Thetis won't really do very much without some hardware to work with.

Scott,
Thank you very much. That corrected the problem.
You are correct that I can't do much without the hardware, but at least it gives me an opportunity to get a little familiar with the various settings in the menus as well as the console itself.
Thanks again for your help.
