Perl error get_iplayer 3.12 running on windows 7

[Dave Widgery]

Hi
I daily connect a USB hard drive to the machine as I then plug the disk 
directly into the TV to play anything that has been recorded, I also 
regularly plug USB keys and phones into the machine.

When I did the un-install and reinstall I didn't delete the .get_iplayer 
directory as I didn't want to lose my history file and I checked the 
get_iplayer install directory and the only things left were my own batch 
files, where can I find the options file ( I have never used it before)? 
and why would a reinstall not set it back to defaults?

Dave
