libprs500 won't start up anymore
![]() ![]() ![]() After a crash and swapping some stuff around I keep getting this message Another program is using the database Perhaps libprs500 is already running? If not try deleting the file J:\sci-fi 13682\A. A. Attanasio\.library1.db.lock Did that didn't help uninstalled libprs500 didn't help Anybody got any idea edit It looks like when I moved files (pdf) I had converted to another folder everything seized up. I just put them back and now lib is running again Deleting the above mentioned file stops lib from running But does this mean I cant shift stuff around anymore? ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by mazzeltjes; 02-25-2008 at 05:15 PM. |

libprs500 doesn't keep track of file locations on your disk. So it must be something other than moving the PDF files.

Ok, it goes like this
when I move the folder A. A. Attanasio containing: .library1.db.lock & library1 and three pdf's from J:\sci-fi to another partition: C:\Documents and Settings\harry.HARRY-4C18FCCC9\Bureaublad I get this: Another program is using the database Perhaps libprs500 is already running? If not try deleting the file J:\sci-fi 13682\A. A. Attanasio\.library1.db.lock removed .library1.db.lock and libprs500 refuses to run Moving the folder back to it's original partition with the .library1.db.lock & library1 removed makes it work again and it immmediately makes a new .library1.db.lock & library1 ![]() ![]() ![]() moving it out to desktop it's back to: Another program is using the database Perhaps libprs500 is already running? If not try deleting the file J:\sci-fi 13682\A. A. Attanasio\.library1.db.lock ![]() I'm on winxp sp2 Last edited by mazzeltjes; 03-05-2008 at 01:33 PM. |

Yeah you can't move library1.db That the file contains all your ebooks and associated metadata. (If you want to move it, you should use the configuration dialog in libprs500).

So if I move all the book files
but leave library1.db in that place it should work ? |
