Error opening

[deckerc]

I have am getting an error when I try to open Mcam9.1 on one of our pc's.

 

"warning-error opening C:mcam9commontempdb.ovf"

 

click ok and get

 

"Not Enough Memory"

 

I've always been able to find solutions to our problems by searching the forum. This is a great place for info. I see others have had this problem but none of the suggestions worked for me this time. (did not do a complete reinstall).

Mcam9.1 is the only version on this box. Can't check to see which updates have been loaded.

Renaming the config file to force the creation of a new one did not help.

We are running XP.

This computer was working fine last week. The PC is locked by IT so no changes could have been made. Our other three pc's are still working fine.

 

Thanks in advance

your error says it's a .ovf file?

is that correct?

I have no clue what extension that is.

it's not a mastercam file

Yes, db.ovf

Hello, the db.ovf is a temporary file and usually resides int the mcampcommontemp folder. The file is usually emmpty (0 bytes). You may want to make sure this folder exists or that your configuration file is pointing to that folder for temporary files.

db.ovf should be a 0kb file in the mcamcommontemp dir its a temp database while mcam is running. its telling you it cannot create the file in the location set by config.

or it dont have write permission.

 

hope that helps.

quess i should type faster

Thanks guys, but the file is where it belongs. It is Okb and permission is set identical to the computer right beside it.

On the computer that does not work, the db.ovf file is in the temp folder all the time, not just when Mcam is running. I can't delete it, or rename because of the permissions. Guess I'll have to call IT when they come in this morning and go from there.

 

Thanks for the help.

fboike,

just to follow up. you were right. we somehow lost permissions on mcam9 folder and subfolders. got it set back to modify and everything is working.

 

Again, thanks for the help.
