Hello. When I try to open weath-lab without logging in to Fidelity, I get an unhandled exception box before the program opens. Below are the first several lines. I also get the same sometimes when trying to save an optimization using Net Profit as the highest parameter. I've tried everything I've found in the forum (re-installing .net, removing .xml files), but can't seem to resolve. Thanks.

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hi,

Based on the stack trace I believe the issue can be caused by corrupt default workspace. Please enable hidden file visibility (if required) and delete your saved workspace's file: it's called Default.ws and can be found under:

c:\Users\your Windows account\AppData\Roaming\Fidelity Investments\WealthLabDev (or WealthLabPro)\1.0.0.0\Data\Workspaces\

Afterwards you'll have to re-create the default workspace.

It's unlikely that the exception is the same. An "Object reference not set..." error message can be thrown by different routines. It's not necessarily a connected event.

Great, thank you, you were correct on the default workspace corruption.
