SBig Driver checker - error

[JohnH]

Hi I recently started getting some crashes in CCDSoft v5 - so I ran the Driver checker (v 3.11 b6) and got the an error (see screenshot attached). I have tried disabling the firewall. The system is a Win7 32 bit and has worked well for about a year. I have some concerns about uninstalling/re-installing as CCDSoft is no longer supported. Has anyone seen this error.

Win7 and Win8 are really narky about permissions so you might have to run it as Administrator. Other than that the file might be open and Windows won't overwrite it. Well behaved installers create replacements for locked files using temporary names and add entries to Windows' rename after boot list. Try running the check immediately after rebooting.

You nailed it - and I should have thought of that - run as Admin fixed it.
