[GNC] Help - GnuCash will not open, crashes

[Mike Johnson]

Good day.
I have been running GnuCash for 3 ½ years successfully. Great application!

I upgraded to a new PC, saved the entire gnucash library, and copied to the new PC after installing GnuCash fresh, on Windows 10. The first time I started GnuCash (and every time since), I get

"GnuCash could not obtain the lock for file: (gives the name of my accounting file)"
It gives me the options:  Open Read-Only             Create New File               Open Anyway              Quit

I don't want to create a new file, and I want to continue editing the file! So I use Open Anyway.

The application either then hangs, or receives a Windows Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error. "The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way".

I am unable to continue using the app until this is resolved. Help!


Mike
