Note part of the example error text refers to being "Unable to write to...". This error typically means that the logged-on user does not have sufficient read and write privileges in the folder where XStudio Voice Tracker is installed. In order to use XStudio Voice Tracker, the logged-on user must have have privileges to read, write and create files in this folder.

When XStudio Voice Tracker starts up, some data files in the application folder are created or if present, updated. Similarly, when XStudio Voice Tracker is running or in the process of being shut down, preference settings are updated. If the logged-on user does not have sufficient rights in the folder, errors of this type will occur.

To correct the problem, the system administrator must add the needed privileges for the user or a group the user is a member of. In Windows XP, [Right-Click] on the XStudio Voice Tracker folder and selecting the "Security" tab. Modify a listed group or add a specific user with the appropriate privileges.
