Now that I've actually tried it (7.07.02) when I try to start up a second copy it just transfers focus to the currently running copy. Sorry for the incorrect assumption. > I also open the license file in shared mode, but I don't think the code > will ever reach that point. The only way I've ever seen "Demo" mode entered was at startup when the starting directory for DX4WIN was wrong. Are people actually seeing it go into Demo mode, or is it just refusing to save the log file? I ask this because there's a "feature" in Windows Vista that marks files on removable media (like thumb drives, or USB hard drives) read-only after they've been opened for a while. My XYL sees this: open a word document on the thumb drive, edit for a while, then try to close it. You get a permission error, and the original document is GONE. Microsoft, rather than fixing this, blames the victim and says that the files must be copied to the hard drive before being edited: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.word.docmanagement&tid=f7a01f32-8177-47b8-93de-9bd66ca62f29&cat=en-us-office&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1 If you're keeping your log on anything but your "C" drive, and you're running Vista, this may be what's happening. If not, never mind. :-) 73, -Rick -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
