HM error

[formula72]

I restarted my computer and logged on to HEM and got this message, " An error occurred while reading config/HM.config file: Root element is missing. Holdem Manager will now backup the old config file and create a new one for you"

Then when you click OK, it takes you to the "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application" popup and never load HEM. Please help.
