Can't open a file in Komodo 4.4.1

I've been using Komodo 4.4.1 daily. Today I quit Komodo and about an hour later started it again. I was unable to open any existing file nor open a new file. I should also note that the little web-like display I usually get asking me if I want to upgrade, did not come up.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Ensure that there are no Komodo processes running in the background - then try to open a file, check Komodo's error log at:

Looking at the logs helped.

Looking at the logs helped. It appears the beginning of the following file is corrupt.

C:\Program Files\ActiveState Komodo IDE 4.2\lib\mozilla\python\komodo\koLanguageServiceBase.py

Any idea how I get a new copy of this file?

Thanks.

You can grab Komodo IDE 4.4 (and older versions) from here:

An uninstall/reinstall fixed
