The good news is that I found a Windows machine which exhibits similar problems. For some bizarre reason, all the relevant directories had been set to write protected, and trying to unset write protection by right clicking on the folder did not work.
However, I came across the following: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;326549#toc So, open a command prompt and type the following: attrib -r C: attrib -r C:\Users\ attrib -r C:\Users\Clayton attrib -r C:\Users\Clayton\.mnemosyne (if that last one exists) Then start Mnemosyne normally, without any -d suffix. This procedure cured the issue on my problematic machine, so hopefully it will help for you too.
