what settings file?

Thank you for being so polite about this. The only thing this program has to do with reading any file on form load is reading s few files that are online so everyone has access to them. The only other thing I can think of is with newer versions of my program with the auto updater. I have it to delete and download the updater everytime the program opens the 'Check For Updates' form so I can make sure everyone has the latest version of the updater incase I find any bugs in it or make any changes. The code for deleting the old updater is in a try statement so I don't see how it would cause the program to not load if it can't find the file and I know everyone has the updater because it is installed into the directory with the program when someone installs it.

[code]
Try
Dim instance As WebClient = New WebClient
Dim address As String = "https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76035776/xPro/xProNews/XboxNews.txt"
Dim returnValue As String
returnValue = instance.DownloadString(address)
KryptonTextBox1.Text = returnValue
Catch ex As Exception

KryptonTextBox2.Text = returnValue

That is the load code for the main form

Thanks for the advice. I guess I shoould have mentioned that I am not the one getting the error. I have no problems running my program but when someone else downloads it to use it they have this problem. I figured the System.IO was the part of the error details that was causing it but I am not sure what is doing it in my program. I will just have too try and find it I guess. I do Debug it before I publish it every time.

There is a lot of coding to this program. I can't post it all on here. People stated that they can't really help me without seeing the code so that is all I can do.

You can download the source of my program there. I hope that helps.
