 Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 6:47 am Post subject: Opening file c:\usage.log in Windows 7 OS |
 |
|
I have recently transferred to Windows 7-64 operating system.
There are a number of very good points about this OS, especially disk cacheing which improves 32-bit applications that do a lot of disk I/O.
I don't understand why people buy (PC venders sell) Win7 systems with less than 8gb of memory !
Anyway, back to my question...
I am trying to open my existing file in the root directory : "C:\usage.log"
I am encountering problems with the file security settings and am apparently not able to change the security settings so that I can open this file and append/write to this file.
I tried to reset the security settings for this file (properties in windows explorer), but the Fortran I/O still gave errors when trying to write.
Has anyone had similar experience of this problem and found a solution ?
I have a similar problem with c:\windows, where in the past I have stored my .ini files (like sdbg.ini).

| This kind of problem is some times overcome by running (Command Prompt etc.) "As administrator". |
