Default Re: How can I get back into Electrotanya?

Solved it !!

Adobe had created a file named electrotanya with no descriptor, in the ab photos area on the computer. As the name is the same, adobe loaded that file in preference to the pdf file in the post.
Deleting the photo file solved the problem.
Thanks Terry, I got to that page but when I requested a password it just told me that the email address was already registered.
I'll give it up as a job to be done when back home, the ants in the computer are tired now and the gecko keeps running across the screen chasing them, and its a touch screen!
I'm surprised that it allowed 2 files with the same name to exist but it did.

If the files were in different directories the system would allow the same name.

Don't know about you, but was beginning to wonder if I was, every time I opened it, it was the screenshot as described... and my elephant has a flying pig in a tutu following it!

You too Terry? Its a very select club.
Yes, got that Frank, different directories, but how did adobe load from a directory that was not open? Or perhaps adobe can open a directory at will?
To difficult for my old brain this morning.

There are shared file in the background used for autocompletion and the spelling chequer that can cause this sort of problem. Most programs have access to them.

Thank you David.
See there is a god, but its digital, I thought I was in another world.
Another mystery solved, that one really had me going, but thinking about it I think I have had this problem before when I pasted a reply here and it went into completely the wrong post.
