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
