Hi,
Yesterday I started getting the following message when Connect is
downloading e-mail:
Error in file
D:\Turnpike\MAIL\MSPOOL
The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a
portion of the file.
Retry - Cancel - Help
If I manage to click Retry before Connect crashes then I tend to get the
following error straight afterwards:
Error in file
d:\turnpike\mail\MSPOOL
Software error 266
OK - Help
I've tried everything I can think of:
1. Rebuilding mail database - this has lost me hundreds of messages
sometimes!
2. Restoring back to Friday's backup - just D: drive which is where TP
is stored - this has worked OK to start with but then I get the same
errors again next time mail is downloaded
3. Full CHKDSK of D: including bad sector check - no problems found
I'm at my wit's end now - WHAT process is locking the MSPOOL file?!!?
I'm the only user so TP and Connect are only running ONCE on 1 PC.
Could the new version of avast! be interfering? It recently upgraded
itself to 4.8.1296. I've tried adding exclusions for the TP folders -
not sure whether this is a good idea or not?
I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could shed any light on this and
help me resolve it!
Thanks in advance,
