I had been running Eudora for about three months as follows. My main computer in my home office had a copy of the program (C\program files\ ....) and folder that contained my data files specific to my e-mail address C:\eudora\XXX. That computer was running Windows 2000 Pro.

My laptop had a copy of the Eudora program (C:\program files\.....) but it pointed to the folder on the main computer that contained the mail data files D:\eudora\XXX. The lap top runs Windows XP

I upgraded the operating system on the main computer to XP on Saturday.

As of Sunday, I can't access Eudora from the laptop. I get the following Notification

Could not open the file D:\eudora\XXX\descmap.pce for reading.
File may be marked as read only or locked (13)

The file is not read only. I am administrator on both computers and I have given all the sharing I can think of.

Can anyone help?

TIA
 
Searched the 'Net and got this:



Apparently, that persons problem was solved by searching for Spyware.......but I am not an expert in Eudora, so I can't tell you any more.
