[shoogen]

Probably your ~/.FreeCAD/user.cfg and ~/.FreeCAD/system.cfg got corrupted.

[mesigua]

You are right shoogen.
I've renamed system.cfg and user.cfg then started freecad.

It works! Thanks so much!

You rocks

[luigipacheco]

Hello i have the same problem renaming thesystem.cfg and user.cfg wont solve the problem, i did install google earth wicj installed some packages for 32 bit systems on my 64 bit system since then i get the same error.

[wmayer]

So, first of all please post some relevant information like OS, FreeCAD version and so on. Then what exact message do get? Therefore you can copy/paste the messages of the output window.
And can you also check which files and where "google earth wicj" installed its files?
