Unknown Error

Every time I start Alice I get an unknown error. I'm running Alice 2.2 on a Dell Inspiron 545S with a Pentium Dual-Core processor running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Can anyone help me?


This is what the error says:

Alice version: 2.2 09/10/2010

I had the same error. I could find no information in the forums or the faqs, so I just started trying stuff. One of those things worked.

I had Alice all set up in a directory off one of the program file directories; it was choking and giving me the same error you were getting. I moved the Alice directory. It is now its own directory off the C: (or root directory). It now works fine. I have no idea why it works, but it does work. Let me know if this was any help to you, or if I have not explained this very well. (I am up quite late and my mental powers are not at their peak.) <yawn>

Have the same issue intermittently. Trying again and again eventualy works.

Not sure why you are getting the java.io.FileNotFoundException: 1292592908122.txt (Access is denied) message. But if anyone is getting this error again, you can try deleting your .alice and .alice2 folder from your user directory, and try emptying your Required\loggingData folder.

Same here, what is the problem with unknown error?

Thank you!
