ACDSee Video Converter Pro - Error opening file for writing
When I attempted to install
ACDSee Video Converter Pro 4.1 on my wife's computer, I received
the mesage "Error opening file for writing" referencing the file
CheckWinVer.exe
.
The problem was due to the fact that I hadn't right-clicked on the
installation file and chosen "Run as administrator". When I aborted the
installation and started over running it as administrator, the program
installed successfully.

Clearing Media Monkey and Windows Media Player Libraries
If you wish to clear the Windows Media Player (WMP) library, but not delete
the music from your system, within the program while viewing your music,
hit
Ctrl-A to select all entries then right-click and select
Delete. When a window opens prompting you as to whether you wish
to delete items only from your library or wish to also delete the music
files, e.g., MP3 files, from your system, leave "Delete from library only"
selected and click on
OK.
In
MediaMonkey,
to clear the database, you can click on File then select Clear
Database. You will then be prompted to type "YES" to ensure that
you didn't inadvertently select to remove all entries from the Media
Monkey music library for your account. For a family member who wanted
to reinitialize her library, though, I found that after typing "YES"
in all capital letters to proceed that a blue circling ring appeared
for awhile, but afterwards all of the entries remained visible in the
proram. If I clicked on File and selected Close or clicked
on the "X" at the upper, right-hand corner of the Media Monkey window,
the program would not close. When I closed the program through the
Windows Task Manager, reopening it showed all the entries remained.
Perhaps, because she had such an extensive music collection, the
program may have been taking a long time to clear the database, but
the library was never cleared after we performed several attempts
to clear it. But there is another way to clear the database and
start fresh. You can, instead, delete the Media Monkey database
file, MM.DB
. After killing the program through the Task
Manager, I deleted that file, which, on a Windows 8 system is found at
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\MM.DB
where username is the username for the account. Note: you may
have to turn on the display of hidden files, folders, and drives through
the Windows Explorer in order to view that location. I also deleted
MM.DB-journal
, which is found at that location. Then,
when she reopened Media Monkey, the library was empty and she was able
to add the music she wanted in the library back into it.
