Can't create temporary file when starting Eudora

Issue:

When launching Eudora Pro (Versions 4.0 thru 4.0.2) an error message is returned "Cannot create temporary files."

Solution:

Upgrade to Eudora Pro 4.1.

If you cannot download the upgrade immediately:

Rename the eudora.ini file.

Note: Close Eudora when editing or renaming the eudora.ini file. When you launch Eudora again, you will need to reenter your account information. Contact your Internet Service Provider if you are not sure of your account information.

Go under tools/options/viewing mail and uncheck "Use Microsoft's Viewer".

(If you cannot open Eudora to turn off the Microsoft Viewer, edit the eudora.ini file and add this line to the [Settings] section:

UseBidentAlways=0

and delete everything in the [Open Windows] section of the eudora.ini file).

Empty your computer's temp folder (Usually this is the C:\Windows\Temp\ folder or C:\Temp\ folder).

Reboot your computer.
