                      @legan ok, on that error screen, ctrl-shift-i to open the developers window, then select the console tab and scroll up there should be an error at the top…
                      the code does

                      try {
                      			fs.accessSync(configFilename, fs.F_OK);  // make sure we have permission to access file
                      			var c = require(configFilename);    // load and parse config 
                      			checkDeprecatedOptions(c);   
                      			var config = Object.assign(defaults, c);   // overlay defaults with config
                      			callback(config);   // send back the loaded config 
                      		} catch (e) {  // some error above
                      			if (e.code === "ENOENT") {    // if file not found
                      				Log.error(Utils.colors.error("WARNING! Could not find config file. Please create one. Starting with default configuration."));
                      			} else if (e instanceof ReferenceError || e instanceof SyntaxError) {  // got a syntax error
                      				Log.error(Utils.colors.error("WARNING! Could not validate config file. Starting with default configuration. Please correct syntax errors at or above this line: " + e.stack));
                      			} else {  // everything else
                      				Log.error(Utils.colors.error("WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: " + e));    
                      			}
                      			callback(defaults);    // < this is sending back the module config that displays the error you see
                      		}

                        @sdetweil thanks you very much! Ok, I opened the developer window as you suggested and attached the screenshots of the errors. Where exactly should I paste your code snippet?2.JPG 3.JPG 4.JPG
