Cannot access user profile

Post by Rhowells »

I just reformatted and installed Windows 7 and now sabnzbd will not load. I get a message saying please start with sabnzbd.ini in another location.

I've tried suggestions from similar threads, such as creating sabnzbd.ini myself, moving it, or starting from the command prompt with -f but nothing seems to work at all. My pc account username is Rob.

Any ideas?

Can you manually create / edit the file %userprofile%\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini ?

I created a blank one but got the exact same error message. Is it worth creating one with all the settings in? Do you have a link to help with that if so? Thanks.

So it's a message from the Operating System (Windows) or your virus scanner, and not SABnzbd. You should try to solve it in the Operating System or virus scanner. Check the rights, or turn off your virus scanner temporarily.

Sorry, I meant I got the message from sabnzbd in the browser window when I started it, after having created a dummy .ini.

Can you post the error message as text and as a screendump? I'm surprised you get the error message in a browser window.
