Immediate Crash After Startup -- Bad STL File

[Dirgesan]

I didn't see this posted anywhere so I thought I'd share:
My Simplify 3d 4.1.2 continually crashed immediately after starting. It showed I had an STL file already imported, even after repeatedly uninstalling and installing the software. I tried Ccleaner on the registry, restarts, and cold starts, all to no avail. I finally realized it was loading the STL file from my user profile. I went in to the AppData/Local folder on my user profile and deleted the Simplify 3D folder and this worked. I probably could've just deleted the offending STL file, but at that point I was pretty well frustrated. I believe the STL file somehow became corrupted on my drive, and loading it caused the crash. Hope this helps anyone who ever has the same problem.

For future reference......deleting the file savedstate.factory from the folder c:/users/NNNNNN/appdata/local/Simplify3D/s3d-software ( where NNNNNN is your username ) would have sorted you out.
