Why?

User preferences failed to initialize.  The user.config file is likely corrupt.  Start with the '/r' switch to reset the user preferences.

Unfortunately this happens sometimes.  The fix is easy and documented many times in this google group.  You can start HFM.exe manually (not with the shortcut) and add the '/r' switch *OR* you can simply delete the following folder on your machine: C:\Users\Curtis\AppData\Local\harlam357\HFM.exe_StrongName_4v0iy2eu3zb1cnuzi4z0q0lqj3vdta2b\0.9.3.718
