HB,
If you copied the patched executable over the existing one (note you might need to be an administrator under Vista to make this stick) it should have fixed your problem.
Other than that, you can try a clean install (make a backup copy of all your BSM files, then delete the BeerSmith directory and do it all again. Its possible you have a bad options file (see threads above) that is still corrupt that might be creating the problem.
Also, if that does not work could you email me your recipes.bsm, newopts14.opts and options.bsm file? I would like to take a look as likely one of those is causing the problem.
Thanks,
Brad
