I'm trying out PicaJet FX 2.5, but immmediately on launch, I get a dialog box that says:
Cannot open database
"Cannot load categories"
The program then exits. Is there something I missed in the installation? I have no databases to import at the moment... I just want to try out the software first. _________________ Brian

Try to launch PicaJet with "recovery" parameter.
Start > Run
Type "C:\Program Files\Picajet\Picajet.exe" recovery |

Thanks, I ran that, PicaJet crashed and generated a crash report. I've e-mailed that off to you. It is complaining about an "access denied" on a temp file it just created. I watched the picajet.exe process with FileMon, and it shows (in this case) 38240.TDI being created, written to, and then closed. But then when it tries to re-open the file, it gets an "access denied" for some reason. _________________ Brian

I have couple questions to you:
Do you have admin rights on your computer?
Do you have much free space on your 'c:' drive? |

Yes, that user has admin rights on the computer. My Documents and Settings folder is actually on my D: drive here, and it has about 3.6 GB free. _________________ Brian

Any other suggestions? Or am I the first to run into this problem?  _________________ Brian

Thank you for information.
Please delete all files from:
"D:\Documents and Settings\taob\Local Settings\Temp"
Please try to run picajet with "log" parameter
"D:\Program Files\PicaJet\PicaJet.exe" log
and then send us "C:\picajet.log" file. Thank you. |

Done... |
I tried running PicaJet in Safe Mode, and it started up successfully that time! I moved the location of the database to another drive (in case it was something funky with the default location), and that succeeded as well. I rebooted back to running XP normally, and I was able to start PicaJet successfully now. However, if I later try to optimize the database, I get a different error (something about a TDI file, I think?). Once that happens, I am no longer able to restart PicaJet.
I'll have to retrace some of my steps to see what exactly happened. _________________ Brian
