I get a SAX parser exception generated once the IDE has started on the windows start opening.. I also get a null pointer exception when I try to open up the Tools->Options. I don't know if they are related. Attached is the error messages. I just upgraded from 3.3.0 which I did clean install before hand. -- System Info ---------------------------------------------------------------- Product Version = NetBeans IDE 3.3.1 (Build 200202011224) IDE Versioning = IDE/1 spec=1.43.2 impl=200202011224 Operating System = Windows 2000 version 5.0 running on x86 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.3.0rc2; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.3.0rc2-Y; Sun M icrosystems Inc.

Caused by corrupted settings file. This corruption can occur during the wrong synchronization in 3.3. It is fixed in 3.3.1, however the bad data still persists. Closing as duplicate. Patch for 3.3.1 to recover from this error can be found within the original issue. Or you can delete your window system settings when you remove this folder: {userdir}/system/Projects/system/Windows. This will delete the window system settings only, all others will be kept. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 19842 ***
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verified.
