I am on an older pc running windows 7, but I have been using maptools all along, no problem until tonight. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Re: Help needed with unexpected error
I'm not sure what this problem is.
It's only been reported once before on a different version of MT [1.4.1.8] and the solution was never reported by the OP : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27676
Only thing I can glean from these two reports is that it's probably not OS related (the other post was on Win 10 and this report is on Win7.) But something has changed in this install for it to suddenly stop working.
What virus checker are you using?
And if you haven't already, try an uninstall/reinstall of MT.

Re: Help needed with unexpected error
After rebooting, I did a chkdsk and it fixed some errors. Its been fine since then. Thanks
