Anyone seen this before?

I was having great success with my first Snort box until I installed IDS. When testing the settings, I get this error:

ERROR: C:\Snort\etc\snort.conf.$$$(201) => Invalid keyword 'preprocessor' for 'g
lobal' configuration.
Fatal Error, Quitting..

I'm not sure how to proceed. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a corrupt config file to me. replace your snort.conf with a clean one configured for your environment.
