Good morning / afternoon Bill Thank you for the reply!
As you might note in Gary’s comments he is getting into the screen allowing deletion of the locked file but when he tells it to do so it comes right back to that screen. He is not seeing WSJTXas a program in the task manager and (claims) that XT has no tab for processes so we were unable to check for that. I believe he is ending up rebooting whenever this happens. I am thinking the best route on this is to wait until Joe releases another experimental version and see if it goes away.

This is on an XP machine. I'll try and help since I implemented the lock file functionality. The intent is to disallow multiple identical instances of WSJT-X running concurrently. This is disallowed because it will not work due to the way that WSJT-X communicates with the associated program jt9. The message means that a prior instance of WSJT-X is still running or has crashed ungracefully. It is possible that a defect has been introduced that is stopping WSJT-X from closing down completely even though it may closed down all visible windows. For anyone seeing this issue I suggest that they check if more than one instance of WSJT-X is running by using Windows task manager or equivalent utility on other operating systems. Make this check while the message is showing before proceeding. If no second instance is running then it is possible that a crash is happening during shutdown before the lock file is removed. There is no need to manually delete the lock file since there is already an option to do that in the message box that pops up. The lock file is stored in the application temporary directory which on Windows is "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\WSJT-X.lock" for a normal default instance of WSJT-X (not to be confused with "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\WSJT-X\.lock" which has a dfifferent purpose). Thanks! 73 de Bill ND0B 73 Bill G4WJS. 25Aug 14:02 AG0N/6M Gary NE DN81fv => Tnx. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the locked file problem that myself and others are having with the later revs of X ? 25Aug 14:03 ND0B/10THRU432 Bill ND EN07gn => Not familiar with that. Can you give a few details? 25Aug 14:04 AG0N/6M Gary NE DN81fv => If I close down X and later reopen it, it won't run. Gives locked file error, allows me to try to get rid of old file but always fails, endless circle. Only cure is to reboot. If I knew where the loc 25Aug 14:04 AG0N/6M Gary NE DN81fv => ked file was, maybe I could manually kill it. 25Aug 14:05 AG0N/6M Gary NE DN81fv => this is on 5789 25Aug 14:06 ND0B/10THRU432 Bill ND EN07gn => rr I have been on vacation and have not even upgraded to 5789. I wll forwared the info to Joe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
