[ GiDlist ] RE:

Hello,

This is a known problem in Windows 2000. This is more a Windows problem
than a GiD problem because Win2000 permits a normal user to create a virtual
drive but not to delete it. GiD new version will init the calculation in a
different way in order to avoid this problem.

The workarounds are:

  • Give the user administrator privileges. In this case, everything works
    perfectly.
  • Continue working in the same way. The program will calculate correctly
    but a couple of virtual units (f: g: h: …) will be left after
    every calculation. When Windows is closed and open again, these virtual
    units dissapear. It is also possible to delete them by hand.

Regards,


Ramon Ribó

Hi

I am running GID on Windows 2000. When I try to
preprocess and calculate a project a warning appears
“unsetdrive g: Access is denied”.
This occurs also when using the GID example
problemtypes supplied.

Many thanks,
Peter Adey
