Re: P7 Runtime opens once



Randy

Do you run Paradox runtime as an administrator ?

Which folders are used for the working directory and the private directory?
Where is idapi32.cfg stored?

Do you have full rights to those folders?

When you get the error Directory is busy, do you see any lck files in
working directory or private directory? Did you use Filemon when you got
this error?

You know you can filter the requests logged by Filemon by entering a filter
pdx*, don't you?

After a follow up investigation I have determined only that the problem
is a windows XP Media Center issue not an app issue. It appears that
the files are being aggressively commandeered. No competing borland
based programs are found. Running RT 7 32 out of the box produces the
same result. Basically the program will simply not run for long.
Sometimes the program will simply evaporate from the screen when an
attempt to print is made. Restart error message: Directory is busy

Simply opening and closing after a fresh boot will surface this message


I see the HP adminisrator is all over the place when vierwing the file
monitor. Cancel the process does not help.

Here's is the kicker: when editing the idapi32.cfg. The net directory
field is blank and will not accept a value.

I did not check the opportunistic locking status. After researching it
the opp lock seems to apply to network / server operations. The
computor is stand alone with a high speed connection. Symentec security
suite is installed. The machine basically runs too slow for the power
is has. Turning off the security suite does not correct the pdox
problems.

Can the opp lock settings really have an effect here?

Jim,

All good suggestions. I will apply them when I actually sit in front of
the computer, next week. Will post the results.

Thanks for your input.

Randy,

I'm surprised PDXRWN32.exe is not still running when you shutdown after
the
first invocation. So, somehow Windows must be holding on to the
resources
after it has ended.

1. Open an empty Runtime window the first time. Then, immediately shut
it
& open it again. Does it still show the error? If not, then it is an
application
problem. If yes, then it is a windows/environment problem.

2. Repeat step 1 with your regular icon but without the startup script.
If it still doesn't work, then what command-line options are you using?

3. Make sure Write-behind Caching and Opportunistic Locking are turned
off.
(just good practice, not sure what effect on this problem).

4. Make sure Window's Indexing Service is turned off for folder (right
click
& choose Properties).

5. Is any special HP monitoring software running? If so, does turning
it
off fix it? (this is my bet)

Are you using tables off of a network? SQL? OCXs? DLLs? Anything
else
external to Paradox?

Thanks,
Jim Moseley
