Sailwave Rating Files & Microsoft Vista

Imported from Yahoo

Message
Hi All,

I have been having problems with Sailwave picking up new ratings I have entered in to my rating files ever since I have had a Vista based system. I have now determined that Vista keeps ‘shadow’ copies of files and for some reason Sailwave uses the older version(s) of the rating files in preference to the latest copy which has my changes :frowning:

I have followed Microsoft instructions to delete previous versions of ‘shadow’ files but so far they do not work for me, as I do not see the options that Microsoft says I should see.

At present I am glad I still have a Windows XP system which does not have this problem of ‘shadow’ files.

Kind regards,

Huw

I have just got a new laptop with Vista and have the same problem
using 1.95 b11. Anyone have a solution?

One possible workaround is to run explorer or cmd as adminstrator and use that to copy the file in place.

I havent tested this so it might not work.
