fixing abc.exe log problem with ABC Torrent

How to fix abc.exe.log problem with ABC Torrent
The other day I had one of those “unexpected” funny blue screens MS Windows displays every so often while I was downloading some stuff using ABC Torrent client. After rebooting, ABC got corrupted and I could not access the program even after uninstalling and re-installing twice. The error message was:
Problem with ABC torrent:Errors occurredSee the logfile ‘\abc.exe.log’ for details
It was a simple problem to fix, but as I could not find anyone else out there explaining how to fix it, here it is my contribution. I post it in English so that it can help more people (and the program is in English anyway, so any user should be able to understand how to interpret it).
Basically, we need to delete our torrent list and reload it again. Do as follows:Go to: C:\Documents and Settings\yourUserName\Program Data\.ABCDelete the file torrent.list
And then, voila! You can re-start ABC torrent again.
But what happenned?! There are no torrents to download!Do not panic! You just need to export your torrents again, and they willcontinue at the same point they were when the problem ocurredTo do that, go to File and select Add Torrent From File.
Your torrents should be atC:\Documents and Settings\yourUserName\Program Data\.ABC\torrent
From that folder, just select the torrents you were downloading and youare off!
Enjoy the tip!
IMPORTANT: The folder Program Data will be hidden by default. If that is the case youmust select “view hidden files and folders” from the Window’s Tools -> Folder Options menu

I got the same error.
And I can't find the "torrent.list" on my Windows 7 Ultimate.
I tried search it on windows explorer but it came out empty.
Do you by any chance know where to find it ????

Before this, I fixed this problem by uninstalling it and re-installed it with a different version of ABC torrent. It worked to some point.
But now, I got both of them errored-out. =(

I don't know why my PC crashed-out at least once a day whenever I'm running torrents.

Hold on...

Never mind. I found it by accident.

So on Windows 7 Ultimate, it's in

C:\Users\"your name"\AppData\Roaming\.ABC

Thx man. =D
