BG Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Just installed VW12.5 in our office and everyone is getting the following error message. The specified file could not be found or the file name has been incorrectly specified (failure on attempt to open file) This message just pops up occasionaly when doing nothing and after hitting Ok, goes away without seeming to cause any problems. Is this anything to worry about? Cheers BG VWA12.5 WinXP Quote Link to comment

BG Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hi Katie Will try and get some indication of what is being done, it is very random and doesn't happen often. It has even popped up when the programe is sitting idle. Brett Quote Link to comment
BG Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hi Katie I had just changed the colour of a line and about 5 secs after doing this the message popped up. Regards Brett Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 So you get the same message, even when you aren't even opening a file? Quote Link to comment
BG Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yes, just came back to my computer after leaving it for 20 mins & the message has popped up on the screen. BG Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Soundz like an Adware issue to me ... similar stuff happened on one of our office PCs after a summer intern installed "popcorn.com " Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Is the error message a VW window or does it have another application at the top? I think Islandmon is on a good track with checking out antivirus software. Have you recently changed anything about that? Quote Link to comment
BG Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 It does say Vectorworks at the top of the message window. It is happening on numerous PC's in the office. Everyone has Norton Internet Security running which has been installed for some time. Will check to see if there is some adware programe running. BG Quote Link to comment
