I'm sure one of the developers or more informed users will give a reason why this is happening. It seems to me that you don't have permissions to the folder or something similar. You can change this temp folder under Tools->Preferences->Paths->Temporary directory. Maybe to a folder you *know* you have permissions to. For instance mine by default is set to: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\ Windows seems to show strange behavior sometimes for no apparent reason. Cheers, /Bob
