TheJackal Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I started getting an error message while trying to save sequences.It says Error saving file...do you want to try to save to another file name? Detail: Invalid procedure call or argument Any clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyD Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've gotten that same error recently too. Do you by chance have a program that automatically backs up your files? I use Carbonite and every time I would save the file (while in the process of editing it) it would back it up again. I've gotten in the habit of pausing the backup for a few hours while I am sequencing. I haven't gotten this error since then (I also rebooted my computer) so I don't know if that was the problem or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Make sure that the Windows user account that you are using to run LOR has permission to write to the directory that that file is contained in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJackal Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 No program to auto backup files (though I should) and I only have 1 user account on my laptop. It seems to have fixed itself. Maybe when I rebooted, it did the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having the same problem w/the new computer. I follow you up to "has permission to write to the directory that that file is contained in.: I am the user and the administrator. How do I go about checking if I am using the administrator or the user to open or save. Thanks for your helpLater in Life,Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 What version of LOR are you using? What happens if you try to save it to a different directory, that you know you can save files to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melmark4 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Morning, Playing and looking around I noticed that after uninstall and re-install that I was not recognized as a new user. I also notice it wanted to install to Program Files(x86). That is when I noticed I have two Program Files. When I went back and insatlled not to (x86) but to Program Files I was recognized as a new user. I open Seg. editor. Found an old seq. and was able to open it up and save it. Anyone know why I have a 'Program File' and a 'Program File (x86)? What is the difference? I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit.Later in LIfe,Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmaskarl Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Programs installed using a 32-bit format will be saved in the (x86) program file, Windows 64-bit are saved in the program files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
