Problem with HB start-up

I went to open my HB up for use today and got this in the debug menu. The log-in process skipped the key-log screen and went straight to a blank HB with only the debug message available.


[12:02:11 PM:002] System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Styx.Helpers.UISettings' threw an exception. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing.
