Could not obtain the lock

[Maf. King]

Hi Moira,

What about the folder that the GC data file is in - is that read-only?  can you 
create a file in that folder using some other program, say notepad or word?

Don't know how windows manages username permissions - I know that some files 
can only be touched by an administrator.  You didn't specify windows in your 
OP, it would certainly be possible on linux that the new user ID would not 
have permissions to the files of an old ID...
