I should have been more explicit

EricL:
Welcome Baphomet.  

I'd be interested in knowing what problem you expereinced getting 2.42.5 to run.  I'd like to improve the first time expereice for that version as well.    It's easy for those of us who already have it installed to forget what issues can occur with a first time install, so your expereince really is valuable.  Thanks!

baphomet:
Hard to believe that my incredible ignorance would be helpful.  

When starting version 2.42.5 the following error message comes up:

"The default settings file is incomptable (sp) with this version. You can save your settings to default.set to create a new one. Settings not loaded."

If I click "OK", then everything looks normal, though. Going to 'File' -> 'New Simulation' brings up a new error:

"Error. Division by zero. Saving sim in saves directory as error.sim"

And then the program closes.

I'm kind of interested in sexual reproduction with the bots, which I understand is not available in the newer version of DarwinBots but is available in the older version, so I'm not upset about not being able to use the newer version yet... but if there's a fix or a specific instruction to follow to avoid the errors, I'm sure it would be good to know - for me for the future, and for anyone else who might be as unsure about these things as myself.

Thank you both again for your speedy replies. It's a good introduction to the forum and to the community to have asked such simple questions and been treated so politely.

Numsgil:
After it "fixes" your simulation settings, check for a text field that sets how often the graphs are updated.  I believe it's on the second tab of the options menu, but I'm not sure.
 
 It will be set to 0.  It needs to be set to something not 0, like 200.

EricL:
Damn.  I thought I fixed the issues with defaluting values in 2.42.5.  I'll do another walk through on clean install scenerios for the next drop.  Damn.
