SABnzbd fails to start up

Post by sirrahal »

This was working before I restarted my machine, and on bootup I get a popup box that says "failed to start check SABnzbd.exe.txt for more details.

Here is the error message.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "SABnzbd.py", line 1865, in <module>
File "SABnzbd.py", line 1075, in main
File "sabnzbd\decorators.pyo", line 31, in newFunction

File "encodings\cp1252.pyo", line 15, in decode
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x90 in position 955: character maps to <undefined>
I am currently using 1.0.1 on a Windows 10.

Any hint in the right direction would be nice. Thanks!
