alltime.ini locked by another process

From the error log:

Code: Select all

Anyone have an idea what other process would lock an .ini file?

I'm running Windows Vista 32.

Your anti-virus software? Try adding the Cumulus folder as an exemption from realtime scanning.

Testing that now, good suggestion. I'll post back here once I know if it worked.

If it's something that has it open permanently and isn't letting it go, you could use process explorer to see what it is: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... 96653.aspx
