If your user settings become corrupted, you may experience a wide range
of problems, including:
- Home Cookin may revert to trial status and display a purchase
notice.
- The program window may be displayed off the screen with no way to
access it.
- Printer settings may not work correctly.
If you encounter unexplained issues like these, deleting your user
settings should fix the problem. Home Cookin will recreate the settings
file automatically. Your recipes, groceries, and meal plans will not be
affected.
