: FM required Administrative powers to install, and when operated from the Administrator's account it seems to be able to create files to store stuff it downloads.

: I changed the permissions to allow use from my normal account.

: But when I run FM from my normal account it seems to run ok except everything which requires creating a file to store downloaded data in yields messages which say it can't create a file in C:\Program Files....; and suggests I change the directory in HKEY_Current_USER\.....\directory location.

: FM is installed in J:\Program Files(x86)....

: The path it is attempting to use does not exist.

: Re-installing I think will not change things.

: Any suggestions?

: Thanks.

Hi Dale,

When FM tries to retrieve prices it creates some log files and temporary
files in its own directory. The user must have write permission to the
FM directory. When you install FM it remembers where it has been installed
and uses this as the path to where to create these temp/log files. If
it is trying to create these temp/log files in a non-existent directory,
then something isn't right, and you should re-install to fix this.

Thanks,
Mark
