since there’s some wizzes on here I may as well ask.
I have a program installed… or reinstalled… the first time I had it installed on this machine I had a different set of partitions. Now when I reinstalled, it can’t run cause it can’t create the temp file in the folder it wants to grrrr… duh that partition no longer exists… anyone knwo of a solution.
By the way… I have a similar problem with another proggy where somehow the “non full screen” version is off my monitor, so I can’t resize the screen and or move it around… I need to somehow remove those coordinates???
because you talk about a Registry
i think you are on a windows machine.
you may want to start
“regedit” from the command line.
most of the software writes settings to:
hkey_local_machine/software/“company”/“package”… or hkey_current_user/software/…
almost sure the application has left something like
temp “E:/temporary files”
most of the time it helps to remove the “package” branch
Or serach the registry for somesing like
E: or what ever the drive letter of this partition was before
you’ ll get a lot of results but one of this is the path to the tamp files
(some older apps write .ini files in the windows folde)
<edit>
if the the application came with active x controls (.ocx)
they did register their path too
in this case it is hard to repair
</edit>
see I know the regedit command line stuff… I just hadn’t come up with doing a search for the particular folder setting that was causing the error… fixed now! my hero
