it appears because your operating system (or what is called 'OS') is a big brown pile...
It's not Scope but Win2k/XP, probably something with the user-rights-file-access-management that M$ never got right (imho).

the 'filenames' in the message to not refer to 'true' filenames, which are abbreviated and somewhat cryptical to read, but to the corresponding 'descriptive name' according to the dsp.idx database.

the problem is usually cured by setting a file attribute on all files in the dsp folder with the 'attrib' command.
Valis has posted the solution long, long time ago - you should be able to search it (for attrib)

cheers, Tom

here it is

then type: "attrib -r -s -h /s /d C:Sfp"
(don't type the quotes)

For problems related to dsp files try:

start>run "cmd.exe" (without the quotes)
then "cd c:sfp" (or wherever you installed sfp4)
"attrib -s -h /s /d" (will reset any hidden/system files within the sfp folder & subfolders).

thanks astroman.
