Archicad preference file

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi all,
I had a recent computer crash which has corrupted the Archicad Preferences file. Error message now on startup of Archicad reads "The Archicad Preferences file is damaged. Delete it and restart Archicad". I have searched my C: and cannot locate the preference file to delete. Does anyone know where it should be located or if there is another method to by pass this issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

This should help ... http://www.archicadwiki.com/PreferencesCleaning

You should add a signature to your profile (link at top of forum) stating your operating system and Archicad version.
