Re: OT EQ5 file problems

First off ....
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Kay}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I thought you'd need a virtual hug ... I know how frustrating stuff like
this can be ... you expect something to work and help you stretch your
creative wings -- and then it poops out on you and you have no rhyme or
reason to it!!!

I'd try a complete reboot -- completely turn off the computer, grab a cuppa
and then come back and reboot cold. Then see what's what.

Also, empty your trash completely and back up the important stuff for EQ ...
'cause I think the next thing to try would be a reinstall ... I don't know
how EQ handles previous proggie files (the files that makes it work, not
your project files) it encounters -- some apps will overwrite them (AKA,
"repair"), and some will refuse to write at all while they're there (some
proggies make you do a complete uninstall before it will let you reinstall).

As to your project files, AFAIK, they're kept in a completely different
folder than the working bits ... but I'd back'em up just in case (better
safe than sorry). I don't have EQ5, though ... so I can't be sure how the
file hierarchy works.Or at the very least, rename the folder (but write down
the original folder name) ... that way if anything WANTS to overwrite that
folder, it won't "see" it to overwrite it.

I really hope we can get this thing licked!!! :)

Warm hugs!!

It still tells me, "C:\Documents cannot be found."

I'm not the only EQ user who has had the problem. One person tracked her
problem to a Microsoft Security Update. I removed the update as she had,
but I still have the problem. She removed the update and had no problem.
Installed the update again and had the problem. Removed the update and
had
no problem. (Great scientific method there!)

Maybe restarting my computer was not enough. Maybe I actually have to
turn
it off then back on.

Try this... Right-click on the PJ5 file and select "Open with..." You
will
get a list of programs that can open the file. Select the program you
want
to use to open it and check "always use this program for this file type"
(or similar words).

I've visited the new EQ forums, but another member's solution didn't

I've always been able to double-click on a PJ5 file and it would then
open in EQ5. Can't do that anymore. I get an error message that says
"C:\Documents cannot be found." I get the option to send a message to
Microsoft (no comments about getting a MAC instead please), and it
indicates something about an MFC file.

Anyone else having this problem? Or have you found a solution?

Thanks in advance.
