Can't launch Xara on my new laptop

[MarciaB]

Hi Rob,

Well, I did all the things you said, downloaded every upload available from Windows10, rebooted and then uninstalled and reinstalled Xara. To no revail..
But this time I got two messages: the old CamBridge32 message and an error message from Xara. It sais - Unable to store information on your local hard disk. The disk may be full, or read-only. -
My disk isn't full and (I think, because I can't find the information about that) not read-only. What now?

I was thinking... is it possible that when I install Xara on an extern hard disk I can work from there? Or is that a rather stupid idea?

I have a couple ideas to try to see if it will help narrow the problem down.

Run Windows in safe mode and try and run Xara X10 and see if you get the same problem. If the problem does not occur then you have a process that is normally being loaded that is interfering with Xara.

Other idea is to download the trail copy of Xara X16 and install it. Do you get the same error on launch? This will tell you if you have an issue with X10 or something else.
