Thanks for the suggestions. I started Enigma with no HOME environment variable defined, and it started correctly, and created a directory in the Application Data directory. When I restarted it with the HOME variable defined, I got the original error again. I know that both my C and D drives are not full, and I tested the HOME variable with both forward and backward slashes. I don't have any idea how to give Enigma the ability to read/write/execute to the d:/home directory, but I do need to figure it out, because I need to keep my HOME variable for the variety of other programs I have that use it. I don't know how difficult it would be to get the error message to print out where Enigma is expecting to find the HOME directory, but that might be a helpful trouble-shooting clue.
