Hi
I just tried an install of 8.8 and get a series of error messages one is
an access denied file not found anther i fail to store beacon and I
missed the other .
Tried to launch again with fldigi running but got the same errors and in
both cases pskmail failed to appear.
This is a first time install on a netbook that is only a few weeks old
(not even got Linux dual boot installed yet hi )

Hi Roger,
Win 7 is a strange beast. I have a Win 7 enterprise laptop I got from
work and I have tested it there without a problem. Dave, KF4WBS, had
issues that sound just like yours. What I think it all comes down to is
that the client puts a pskmail folder within your user area. That folder
was not read or writable for Dave and I think he had a hard time getting
access to it. jpskmail wants to save your settings, your email etc
somewhere and it does that within that pskmail folder. If it can not read
or write it then it will not start up as it should.
I have started to redo the installer and hope I can get hold of a laptop
somewhere that has this issue. For now you will have to right click on
that folder and allow your user to read and write stuff within.
Another way could be to remove the folder and then start jpskmail and
have it recreate the folder for you.

The pskmail folder is created read only and despite windows appearing to
allow unslececting the read only button
it is again shown as read only when properties are selected again. windows
gives no indication that the change is not made it even gives the sub
option to apply chnges to the sub-folders and files.
Removing the folder and letting pskmail recreate it results in the same
state.
trying XP comparability mode is all I can think of to try next.
