VSO Software Forum

My PC had a reboot between Friday, when the issue first appeared, and Saturday, and it was still present throughout Saturday. It was only after booting up on Sunday that the issue seems to have been resolved somehow. I'm going with "dbminter's very helpful suggestion to untick the Read Only fol...

I booted up my PC this morning to discover my copy of ConvertX works again!

I can only imagine that the unticking of the Read Only folder worked after a reboot of the system?

Many thanks for that suggestion, dbminter.

So it's the same as what I can find on my PC, I'm not overlooking things. Many thanks. I'm still puzzling over that forward slash for ProgramData/VSO. I think the only real option I have is to try an uninstall/reinstall? Well, it's late at night now, so I'll have to try something tomorrow. Thanks fo...

Thanks for that, dbminter. No joy, unfortunately. I unticked the Read Only box on the main AppData\VSO folder, checked some random files in the folder. The Read Only is now unticked on files, but ConvertX still starts up with the same error message. Do you know where the AppData\VSO folder is locate...

Yes, I did wonder about the " ProgramData/VSO " in the error dialog, but maybe it's just an error on ConvertX's part when it came to typing the dialog error message? Your help with the Read Only thing is very much appreciated. I feel silly at how obvious that was, if I'm honest. I still ca...

I'm not sure where the AppData\VSO and ProgramData/VSO folders are meant to be located, if I'm honest. I'm also not sure how I would change them from being Read Only if they were? I've got a VSO folder in Program Files (x86), but that's probably not it, I'm guessing? I've tried looking for both AppD...

That's good to know, dbminter. Thank you very much, that's very reassuring. I remember older versions of ConvertX where projects were no longer compatible once you upgraded to a newer version. Would you also recommend I uninstall then reinstall the latest version? I still haven't attempted it yet, e...

Thank you for the reply, yoyo57.

Will a clean install of ConvertX 7.0.0.69 affect my templates and projects made for 7.0.0.64?
Will they be compatible with the newer version of ConvertX? I really don't want to start from scratch with any of these things.

Your help would be appreciated.

Hi, I've been using ConvertXtoDVD 7.0.0.64 for a long while now without any problems. Today, my first conversion went without a hitch as normal. However, when starting up ConvertXtoDVD a second time today, I was met with the message: A critical working folder cannot be accessed or is not writable. T...
