I could only erally suggest reinstalling, but you could try installing the program to a different directory and see if it works there.

Also if you're afriad of losing torrents, look in the programs files folder for the program and backup the files in it.

Looks like something got corrupted, probably C:\Program Files\ABC\abc.conf...

Check abc.conf's contents. If it doesn't have information about your torrents, try backing it up, deleting it (or just renaming it) and running ABC.

Not sure what that extension is, but if it doesn't automatically open when you double click on it, try right clicking and open with notepad, or something equvilant.

.conf might be... configuration?
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.
