[Mike.]

what is the exact wording of the error?

 

[tompitcher098]

not well formed(invalid token at line 1 of default.xml

heres what i found:
'not well informed (invalid token) at line 1 of profile. '

It means one of your 'Profiles' has been corrupted. Shut down FM, delete the cache files and this should solve this issue (but you'll also lose stored profiles that are selectable from the drop down menu when you start a new game).

Details on how to delete your cache files can be found below.
