Pegasus difficulty in Vista

Hi Folks,

I just installed Pegasus in Vista Home Premium 32-bit, and it runs
fine . . . until I transfer my existing mail messages from my old
system into the new system.

The only way I know of to accomplish that is to copy the mail folder
for a particular user from the old system to the new system, thereby
replacing the one that was I created during the new installation of
Pegasus. After I do this however, upon starting Pegasus I get the
following warning:

"Pegasus Mail has detected that the directory in which it should
create temporary files is invalid. The affected directory, is probably
the one specified in your TEMP or TMP DOS environment variable."

"You should correct this problem as soon as possible - running Pegasus
Mail without correcting this problem may result in unpredictable
errors, and may cause problems in other Windows programs as well."

When I tell it to continue, Pegasus starts normally and all my old
messages appear properly. After I close Pegasus, however, I'm no
longer able to start it again during that Vista session. If I want to
use it again, I have to reboot first. Upon starting Pegasus after
rebooting, I get the same error message and, again, I can only use
Pegasus once during that session.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

And what group may that be, or should we search all 70000+ groups?

The other group in which the OP posted the identical article, of
course.

XS11 was quite rightly pointing out that the OP should not have
multiposted.

Yes, but what about those of us who only read this group and are interested
in reading the answer to that question?

Since the OP only shows one group

Newsgroups: comp.mail.pegasus-mail.ms-windows

on my server at least, it would be handy to have the answer here rather
than re-ask it and create all the traffic again.

Sure, it would have been fair to tell what group it is.
I think that the answer is that the problem isn't related to PM:
The temp directory defined in vista doesn't exist, he as either to
change the definition or to create the proper temp directory.

comp.mail.pegasus-mail.misc

There are only 5 groups shown on my server or in Google groups with
Pegasus and Mail in the title and only 3 of these are in English. It
wouldn't have been a difficult search.

The OP solved his own problem, none of the suggestions he received were
valid, apparently he moved his data files by burning them to CD and
then copying the CD onto his new computer. The CD was a bad burn,
burning a new one fixed the problem.

Note also that files copied from a CD/DVD have the ReadOnly attribute
set, which may cause problems also (prevents programs from writing to
the files).
