Had to do a system recovery on my PC. Reinstalled EFIlive latest version and when I try to open a file I get the following message. What is it telling me? I'm running Windows XP.

The error is pointing a permissions issue on the folder where it is trying to create/modify that file. A PC that has had a problem and recovered is always a bit of a worry to me, I never feel comfortable with it after that and tend to reload from scratch (OS and all applications etc).

You could try taking a copy of your 'My Documents\EFILive' folder structure, or just simply renaming it, and then uninstall EFILive. Then try reinstalling the EFILive software again so that it re-creates those directories as that may correct the permissions issues. If not then I think the quickest and simplest resolution will be to reload you machine. Otherwise you'll need to get an IT person to look at it which could take both time and $$$ ultimately.
