Hi
This problem is almost certainly* because there is an orphan
ipmosflm.exe still running (this can happen when you get a Tcl error
and iMosflm stops unexpectedly {some people might call this a
"crash"}). At the moment you do have to kill the orphaned
ipmosflm.exe process from the MS-Windows task manager - which I agree
is a bit of a pain.
I haven't seen this problem where the old mosflm.lp file is open in
an editor, but I guess that could happen.
Unfortunately, the fix for this is not in the recently released
version 7.1.2 (we have a partial fix for this problem but it doesn't
seem to work all the time, so needs more testing/debugging before we
can release it - it will be in version 7.2.0, which should be ready
for release "RSN"**).
* I haven't seen it happen under other circumstances - please let us
know directly if you know otherwise.
** = "Real Soon Now", i.e. once we're confident all the new features
are robust enough for most users and we've fixed a significant
proportion of the known bugs.

It would be nice though if imosflm did the killing for you - it
happens to me a large fraction of the time on windows. (I imagine
windows doesn't make mosflm's life easy, mind you.)

No--but thanks to you I just found it hanging in the process
manager and killed it, which seems to have done the trick. Guess I
should have thought of that sooner...
Thanks for the help,

Is the old mosflm.lp open in an editor?
Some editors will put a lock on the file which would prevent
mosflm from overwriting or renaming it.

Dear Crystallographers,
Has anyone come across this message before with imosflm in Win7?
I think restarting cures it, but I've got other jobs going...
