I think the problem still is the same. I just think that your Windows has been setup to hide system files.
If you go to Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Hidden Files and Folder. Make sure "Hidden Files and Folders" has been selected You can find your temporary files in this folder: C:\Documents and Settings\PEM\Local Settings\Temp Replace PEM (my user ID) with your Windows UserID You can also find a tool that can help you clean up the temp folder here: Start > Programs > Accesories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup HTH, Peter Horsb�ll M�ller GIS Developer Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

I am running MapInfo on a Windows XP platform. When I attempted to start the program, the MapInfo window opens, and the hourglass icon appears, which is normal. Unfortunately, though, the hourglass icon doesn't go away, and MapInfo never completely starts. In previous versions of MapInfo, a common cause for this was an excessive number of temporary files, which are usually named something along the lines of "~MAP0001.TMP". Normally, when ten thousand of these temporary files had accumulated, MapInfo would not start completely, and the result would be the same as I described, which is the hourglass icon that never goes away. All I had to do to fix the problem was locate these temporary files and delete them, and MapInfo would start normally. However, this time, I can not locate any of the temporary files ("~MAP0001.TMP", "~MAP0002.TMP", etc.) to delete them. Is there another potential cause that would prevent MapInfo from starting completely? Thanks.
