I am having a problem after I download an application for locomotives for MSTS. When I go to run the application to install them, it gives me an error saying that in cannot load the launcher from ***\***\*****\Temp\(the temp file name-which isnt even in the temp folder). How can I solve this?

Use windows search tool and click on advanced. use this to find files above the size of say 20mb this will have a list and will narrow down the amount of results for you to find your file

Hi,

I installed Pinnacle Studio 12 on my Vista laptop. I tried to render a large film and Studio 12 gave up on me. When I looked at my hd if by any chance Studio still finished the image, I saw that I lost 45GB of discspace. I think that because of the crash in there is stil a file somewhere, I cleaned my temp but that was only 150MB. Does anyone have an idea where to look?

Thanks

Disk cleanup doesn’t seem to work in Vista service pack 1. It scans for file then just dissapears without doing anything. Can anyone suggest what to do or what other software to use.
