what is the exact error message and where it happens (what do you mean "open a header")?

it happens when i try to open files. I get the error

Error creating temp file e:\program files\usenet explorer\temp\Rt

I fixed this temporarily (don't know if it'll pop up again) by Creating the folder Rt manually because I saw that it didnt exist. That seems to have fixed the problem.

maybe you deleted it accidentally during a session?
it won't be recreated then until the next restart.

if you delete the Rt folder and restart the program you'll see it reappearing. if you delete the whole Temp folder (you can do it only when the program is not running) the Rt folder will be recreated as well. you can try it.

in the program deleting directory can only be applied to par2 directory (subfolders in the par2 folder) and to newsgroup directories (subfolders in the Newsgroups directory) when you delete a newsgroup, no other calls.

if you are running the program in Linux under Wine you need to use v1.31+, read http://www.netwu.com/newspro/phpBB2/vie ... php?t=1965 it seems there is a bug in Wine starting with some their recent release when deleting a file with the directory name as a parameter deleted the directory, I "fixed" it in v1.31 although there is no mention of it in the release notes (it is not a bug and not a feature).

thanks Alex. I was able to finally stop the problem from happening by deleting the temp folder completely like you advised
