Title: Altbinz crashing
Post by: hum44 on December 04, 2009, 05:13:42 pm

I was using the trial version of giganews with altbinz and everything was working fine.  Now when I upgraded to regular membership, my altbinz keeps crashing.  On the bottom the action status keeps switching from connecting to downloading and back.  Then an error message pops up "Cannot create file "C:\Program Files\AltBinzmisc\queue.abz.tmp". Acess is denied." before the program finally crashes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

If you are using Vista/7:

Try placing AltBinz out of the program folder. Preferably on a different drive and with a fresh install/download.

ok i've found now that if i run the program as an admin account it works.  i'm not sure why it worked before even though i was running it through a non-admin user account, but now it doesn't.  at least it works now though. thanks
