Gsak Problem

[+dino_hunters]

I'm running the latest version of GSAK, under XP pro. I have a macro I use that exports out a whole lot of GPX files for me, as well as waypoint & geocache files for the magellan explorist. Lately whenever I run it, it crahses, and says it can't create the file:

 

c:\program files\gsak\temp\temp.ini

 

sometimes it says it can;t create the file c:\program files\gsak\babel.txt

 

It crashes randomly throughout the macro. Sometimes will be almost done before it crashes and sometimes it will have barely started. Any ideas on what is going on?

 

I've tried re-installing gsak and that doesn't do it. I've also made sure all the permissions & rights and files are wide open. any help is greatly appreciated.

 

thanks

Go to Gsak (geocaching Swiss Army Knife) in this form and ask again, but this time copy the macro in your request.

 

That would help.

It would seem that something on your system is preventing the generation of these files at times.

 

One cause could be your virus scanner. Try disabling real time protection for the GSAK install folder for your virus scanner.

That did it!!! I disabled McAfee and now it works just fine. thanks for the tip.

 

Now, can someone tell me how to exclude just the directory, so I don;t have to disable the whole virus scanner?

 

thanks
