[maxx420]

keep getting message over and over...........Cannot Create File "c;\Users\mjds4\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey .ini" , the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another Process.
would like to know what it exactly means and how to fix it...........plezzz be as descriptive as possible on how to fix (I'm not computer wiz)

Try to restart your PC and see if you can then do what you were doing.

If that doesn't work, what are you doing when you get that message and which version of MediaMonkey?

Hi,
Ok, try this:
1. Start MM installtion
2. in path prompt select portable installation
3. proceed with installation
4. if needed copy "c;\Users\mjds4\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\MM.DB" to subfolder of newly MMW portable install
5. Start MM
6. You would need to enter your registration info again, but you can cancel initial first start wizard.

Let us know the result.

thanks Peke.......so your saying for me to go to were the MM program is and click on install???? do i need to un-install it 1st???

[Lowlander]

No, you're doing a new install (as Portable Install) in a separate location (like C:\MediaMonkey\) and then you can copy the old database to this portable install C:\MediaMonkey\Portable\).

You can leave the old install installed for now.

OH ......OK. THANKS.........I WILL TRY THAT AND LET YOU KNOW. I'M NOT THAT GREAT WITH COMPUTERS BUT I TRY , SO WHEN SOMEONE GIVE ME DIRECTIONS I PREFER THE DIRECTIONS TO BE VERY SPECIFIC . WITH STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS AND IF ALSO POSSIBLE PICTURES ARE VERY HELPFUL .........................HOPEFULY I'LL GET IT RIGHT, BUT IF NOT I WILL DEFIANTLY LET YOU KNOW ....ASAP.

THANKS AGAIN AND STAY SAFE

HI,
Sure, here it is. Just please do not YELL at us

1. Start MM instalation
2. On page where install path is listed select [x] Portable Installation and install into c:\MediaMonkey
3. Finish installation and do not start MM on finish
4. Copy "c:\Users\mjds4\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\MM.DB" to "c:\MediaMonkey\Portable\MM.DB" (If you do not see AppData folder in "c:\Users\mjds4\" Just type it manually in Address bar above and you will get access)
5. Start "c:\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey.exe" and cancel initial start wizard.
6. See if you can use MM normally.

Hope this is specific enough. Please do not YELL again it is hard to read and understand.

[maxx420]
