    Program Files are botched up!
    « on: March 19, 2009, 06:03:24 PM »
    When I click on a program file, it leads to the usual
    extending  tabs, but the one for the main program is "(empty)".

    I suddenly have several like this and need very much to use eWriter Pro.

    Please help!

    Hi Pennie,

    have you considered uninstalling the program and reinstalling it?

    Can you run the application(s) by double clicking on the exe file(s) in their installation folder(s)?

      Yes to both of you who tried to help me.

      I've erased the bothced program (eWriter Pro) that
      I want so badly and downloaded a new one
      and I get the error message:

          "error writing to temporary location".

      I can't get use of eWriter Pro and I need it  by tomorrow
      for a deadline!

      Thanks for trying to help,

      Try emptying the temp folder, and see if that helps.
