Joe and Dave,
I think you guys on to something here. I have MMTTY installed under Vista
at C:\MMTTY. I checked the MMTTY folder and the read only box is filled in.
I clicked it off and applied the new setting. When I started WL again the
MMTTY plug-in error message pop up again. I went back to the MMTTY folder
and checked the Properties. The read only box was again filled in! I
cleared it again, applied it and closed the folder. Without doing anything
else I rechecked the Properties on the MMTTY folder and again the read only
box was filled in. Even though I am logged in under UAC as the account
administrator Vista will not let me clear the read only flag on the MMTTY
folder.
I have a meeting to go to shortly, but later tonight I will try turning off
UAC, clearing the read only status of the MMTTY folder and see what happens.
If that fails I will probably go the uninstall route on both the full MMTTY
package and the MMTTY plug-in and then reinstall both.
73,
Gary AL9A
