RepRap Host Will not start

Tonight I installed the 5D firmware on my reprap motherboard and extruder controller, and am tweaking the machine to get ready to print. The host software was launching no problem, the RepRap was taking commands, the extruder was working etc. I stopped the program and restarted it but now it won't start. The first time it tried to load the host it said something to the effect of "since you have changed your machine type the host will have to restart" Now It loads the command prompt but then just gives me this.

etc...

When I don't have the reprap attached to the computer the host loads fine. Does anyone know what is causing this and what I need to do to fix it?

Thanks

Solved problem - for anyone else with this problem, the host software made a new directory in my documents called .reprap with a reprap.properties file. When I deleted the file everything worked again.

I just had this problem too, I accidentally clicked on "Print on SNAP RepRap".

If you don't want to loose all your configuration settings, edit the reprap.properties file and look for

RepRap_Machine=SNAPRepRap

change it to:

RepRap_Machine=GCodeRepRap
