[Qgis-user] Fwd: QGIS crash on loading projects

Ok give this a go.
In the install folder for QGIS there is a file called OSGeo4w.bat. Run that
and type:
qgis --optionspath "C:\temp\qgis" --configpath "C:\temp\qgis"
Both those options take a folder path and will save the settings there.
These will create a new user home and settings location in temp\qgis. This
is good for seeing if there is a busted setting in your registry for QGIS.
Run that command and see if it still crashes.
