I use playonlinux for a few weeks now and always worked great (Ubuntu 10.04); last week, when I tried to install a driver for a usb to serial converter, I started playonlinux and during start up, looked for update and then crashed -
after this I cannot restart playonlinux unless I reboot the computer

any ideas / solutions?

thanks,

Dimitris

I don't know if you have many application installed with POL but you can try to rename the .PlayOnLinux folder and restart POL to see if it crash again.

What is your version of PlayOnLinux ?

I tried renaming .PlayOnLinux and restarted POL - run but then died - messed up also my installed software;
I removed POL, and reinstalled it and seems to work fine (I have to update some of the software links but other than that looks fine)
I will update later on the status
