Help
I've just started getting the following message when I run DP - under XP
Pro Service Pack 3
Unable to allocate the scratch files in the default directory.
Possible reasons are write protection, network restrictions, or directory
full. Options are:
1 - Change drive and/or directory for scratch files
2 - Retry using the current path
0 - Exit
I have tried a variety of approaches, including: using option 1 above;
using the dp/d-directory startup option; copying DP files to a new
directory: and using a different version of DP.
None of these approaches resolves the problem, and I continue to receive
the same error message - so I am unable to.use DP or to access to many
databases
Can anyone suggest a way to resolve this?

PS, I don't know if this was a factor, but I had inadvertently been
suckered into installing Delta Search, which messes with my browsers
shortly before this problem began. I have removed the program - and even
tried a System Restore to a date before installing it, but Windows didn't
complete the System Restore as it said no changes had been made
