Error saving hash data: Access is denied

Asked by Ryanator

When I'm indexing new files I'm getting the error message.

Error saving hash data: Access is denied
Finished hashing: <...>

I don't believe access is denied to those files but, I'm not sure. The files are indexing and showing index progress but whenever I start up DC++ it has to index again.

How can I fix this?

What version of DC++ are you using & OS as in XP or Vista?

You don't have access rights to the folder where your DC++ settings files are stored. Make sure you run DC++ as the same user as you installed.

I'm using vista and DC++ 0.75. I'm the only user on this computer so that shouldn't be the problem. I didn't see the settings folder in the DC++ folder that is installed in program files not sure if thats what its actually called or not.
