Process Tamer - File access error message at startup
« on: September 14, 2009, 10:04 AM »
Logging on to my computer this morning produced an error message saying something like ......
Could not access Process Tamer Log because it is being used by another process.
I do not really understand this. What process could possibly be using the log file at start up?
Obviously I accessed it myself yesterday and closed it properly. All seems to working OK though.
I checked the config and Process Tamer has logged closing down and starting up OK.

Wouldn't you have more than one instance of process tamer running?

There is only one instance of ProcessTamerTray.exe running.

I had noticed today that some application names were duplicated in configuration for some reason. I do not feel that I had duplicated them but I shall keep an eye on it.

I did not get any error message when loading the computer this morning following deletion of the duplicate High Priority ProcessTamer explicit rule entries in configuration yesterday.
So far no duplicate entries have re-appeared.
