It looks like your trying to run BRenBot with a corrupted database, as you can see in the screenshot it can't find a lot of the tables it expects to be there. I would suggest renaming brenbot.dat to brenbot2.dat and then loading the bot, it will create a new clean database file and you have the option of manually importing the old banlist into the new database then.

Run it from the command prompt. You'll have to manually change directories to the place the bot is located, but you'll be able to read the error message.

It's looking for your server.ini file, using the path you provided in BRenBot.cfg, which has to end with a trailing /, which apparently you removed.

tried everything, ended with this and none work.

# FDS Installation

# Verify these paths are correct with your Renegade installation.
# Note: FDSLogFilePath must end with the trailing slash (as example below)!!
# Note: Linux users use forward slashes (/) in your paths.

FDSConfigFile = C:\WittebolX Gaming\GameServers\Renegade\WittebolX3\FDS\Server\data\svrcfg_cnc.ini

I wonder if perhaps the config file reader can't parse the space in the path, and is cutting off everything past there.. although nobody ever reported such an issue before...

As per dp's suggestion:

Start -> Run -> Cmd

type "cd .." until your prompt is C:\>

Type "dir /x"

You will notice a dot8 format folder name. Try this instead of WittebolX Gaming. Most likely going to be Witteb~1.

End result something similar to:

FDSConfigFile = C:\Witteb~1\GameServers\Renegade\WittebolX3\FDS\Server\data\svrcfg_cnc.ini
FDSLogFilePath = C:\Witteb~1\GameServers\Renegade\WittebolX3\FDS\Server\

Brenbot is in witteb~1 and it looks for your server.ini in witte~1 (note: without the b). I suppose that's the error.

Change your server folder to a name that has max 8 letters.
