Hello folks, here we go again, switch my computer on, try to record something for my thread with Gab and no can do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm using Win10 64 bit. Problem 1: Whenever I try to record, I arm the track, then when I press CTRL R I get a message saying "Can't write to recording files, does the directory exist?". YES IT DOES because I opened it from the directory. I also get the same with a new project!!!!! I used to be able to just create a new project and start recording even if I hadn't saved the project file yet. Problem 2: I can't save a project. Even one I've just opened that I saved yesterday!!!! Both "save" and "save as" give me the same message, "Error creating project file! Project not saved!" If I try to save to a different location it says "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission would you like to save in the philh folder instead?". The philh folder is in C:>users>philh I really hope you can help. The same issues have been posted in the Reaper forum but the fixes suggested aren't relevant to me . Thanks for your time  UPDATE: The only thing I did differently was I accidentally put it into sleep mode instead of shut down. I remember many years ago on Win95 or 98 that I had problems if I put it into hibernate. Could this be something similar?

You sleep mode comment makes sense as I also remember 1-2 issues in the past because of it. Does re-installing reaper work?

Thanks folks, Yeah Todd, I was hasty with the left mouse and clicked it as my cursor went over the "sleep" marker
 I did a system restore which I didn't think Win10 had because if you search for it from the start menu it doesn't find it, you have to search for recovery and it is in there. It must have happened when I put it into sleep mode because the event time coincided and it said in the description, "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) - 14.0.24215" It's all sorted now. What does sleep mode do that causes this kind of thing? Thanks Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Well the problem is back but I now know what it is. I had to uninstall Bitdefender because that is the only way to disable during the tour that system restore does. After checking everything was working, I reinstalled Bitdefender. Problem returned. The latest update makes every file in "my documents" a protected file. You then have to either unprotect and/or allow certain apps/programs to make changes.
Just thought you should all know. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Internet Security 2018. It was just an auto update that added a new function that was switched on by default. I know where to look in future
