Went through the other thread. The main difference is the other problem was consistent whereas the behavior I'm observing seems intermittent. Still, I think it is plausible that my AV software is possibly curtailing the creation of temporary directories -- or affecting them somehow.
Am using AVG 8.0 (free) having been persuaded previously to de-install Kespersky. Won't know until I get home whether this version has options to ignore file certain extensions. Will advise tomorrow. In the meantime, thanks for chiming in. -- ShutterShock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ShutterShock's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3602 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51262 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
