Hi Dave,

Have you updated BIAB to the latest build? (#379)

Also, have you installed part of BIAB into the "Program files" section of your c: drive?

Kind regards,
Noel

That message is telling you that the program tried to write a file, and was denied permission. Normally it would be writing that a_found.ls3 file to your G:\bb directory, but your message above has it as the G:\ root folder.

In any event, perhaps an antivirus program or a windows setting is preventing writing to your USB drive? Try copying files within the drive yourself.


Have Fun!

Hi Dave,

Everything works fine for me.

Following on from Peter's post, what antivirus software do you use? Also, as Peter suggested, did you try copying a file (any kind of file will do) to g:\ to see if your computer lets you do that.

Lastly, something that might be worth a try is to ...

(a) go to the \bb folder
(b) locate BBW.EXE
(c) right-click on the file and select Properties
(d) set Administrator privileges

To be honest, I can't see how setting Admin privileges will help in this instance but it's worth a shot.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel and peter

thanks for your help and advice,every thing is working fine all the small faults have gone,so what did i do i found that the disc had been delivered so i thought i would revert to 2013 version and update to 2014 using the new disc and this seems to have done the trick,this is without running it to much but the main fault that i was asking about running the style picker is working fine
