Great to hear that.
Just for anyone's interest. The reason for these errors (and many more related) are because Windows XP created more security barriers to prevent User or Guest accounts to install or manipulate the Program Files directory. Multisim, as many other programs, reads and writes back and forth to its installation directory during run-time, if you are a User without Full Control privileges the system will block you from doing that, therefore Multisim will bring up that type of errors.

Giving the folder full rights was the first thing I tried and it does not solve the "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'C:\Multisim\Mscomp.prd'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
Error Code: 3051" error.
Any other suggestions?

Hi,
Check the mscomp.prd file in the shown path and see if the file is open for all users, sometime when you open the folder security it doesn't propagate the setting to the file in the folder.

Hello.
We have in our school 25 licenses of Ultiboard 7 (about 7 years old).
Until now I had no problem installing it on new pcs (each 4 years, we replace pcs in the lab room).
But today, I have the same problem as stated in this forum.
I do this :
1. I install Ultiboard 7 as before without any problem.
2. I launch it.
3. The splash screen appears a few seconds and disappears.
4. A little dialog, with only an OK button, appears which says : Couldn't lock file.
There is no error code, only the message above !
5. I click the OK button.
6. The main window of Ultiboard appears.
7. After a few clicks on menus (immediately if I hit the Tools menu), the same little dialog reappears again and again when I click the OK button !
The only way to stop it is to kill Ultiboard 7 via Tasm Manager
And the problem does not disappears even after settting Full Control permissions for Users on the Ultiboard 7 folder with propagation to all subfolders and files.
Is there a solution to this ?
Thank you.
