Further information:
There is a line in the gambas3.conf file (line #31 as per the latest 
screenshot), that reads:
ShowTipOnStartup=18446744073709551615

If I set this to -1 (true) and start Gambasm The Tip shows. If I leave 
the "ShowTipOnStartup" box ticked, the value gets set to the number shown and 
I get the error message. If I set it to 0 (zero = false), then everything 
works. It looks like an error caused by 64 bit values.
