There have been major changes in version 1.6 and higher that required a new settings file.   Versions 1.6 and higher cannot read the previous settings file.   The first time you run version 1.6 or higher after upgrading from a previous version it should ask if you would like to try and import the old settings.   This will only work with very recent versions of Anywheremap or Anywhere WX.   If the file is too old or has a setting that can't be imported it will give you a message saying that it could not be succesfully imported.   It should still open anywheremap, but you may have to reset some of your personal settings.   Sorry for the inconveinience, this was necessary to implement the new changes to version 1.6
