Bigbox settings is only showing a black screen

Hi! I've been using Launchbox for a very long time, but I fell out of retro gaming for about 2 years. Recently I got back into retro gaming so I started using Launchbox again. Everything is working, except for the options menu in big box. At first launch into big box, I got these errors attached, so I figured it was something to do with my themes being not updates and most likely incompatible. So I removed them all to launch the default theme, I get into bigbox just fine, see my games, playlist and can even launch games, but i still cannot get into options. What happens is that I get a black screen, but I can hear the background music and I can push escape again to get back to my games/playlist ect, but I can't see the options menu for some reason. Only a black screen so I can't make any changes. I searchedfor a solution and I could find people with similar problems, so I tried deleting BigBoxSettings.xml to reverse to dafault, but the same thing happens. I tried a new install on the drive and there I can access the bigbox menu. So probably a corrupt file or something. It is stored and runned from a Seasgate usb drive.  Any tips on what I can try or what the problem could be? I  could also start using the install were it works, but how do I copy all my settings like playlist, manual scraped games ect?

This means you updated to version 13.19 beta 1, which had this known issue here.

Here's our beta thread for version 13.19 that you can use to keep track of things and participate in the betas:

 

Alternatively, you could opt out of betas if you wish not to take part in them.
