Can't Delete or Email a Wpae001 file

Post by paulkenny »

Keep getting a message saying I cant do anything with the file because I don't have administrative authority over the file

any ideas?

Did you install your game in the programs directory? If so, uninstall it and reinstall it somewhere else. You can move your save games first to somewhere else.

I installed it on the c drive. I rebooted the laptop and that seemed to do the trick, it appears the laptop was thinking the file was still in use (I think). Next turn it did the same thing, I hope I don't have to reboot the computer every time.

You shouldn't have to re-boot every time, but it will help if you exit out of whatever email you're using after sending each turn. I found that I had the same problem you did when playing multiple turns a day, but that it was easily fixed by just closing gmail after I sent each turn.
