Delayed write failed to network drive by SOS on 07-20-2007 at 09:50 AM

I recently installed Plus! Live and noticed that it often fails to write the chat logs. Windows pops up a bubble saying "Delayed write failed ... blabla ... data is lost ... blabla".

My log folder is on a network drive (mapped to a drive letter). Most of the time it works, but sometimes it fails like this. I am running Windows XP under VMWare.

I didn't find any posts here regarding this issue. Has anyone run into this before?

Everything else is saving to that network disk properly. I'm also using Messenger's own logs on the same drive and they save fine.


Hmm... perhaps the error message is in error - I checked the file a minute ago when I saw the error and I don't see any data missing. I'll keep watching it closely...
No, I've confirmed that the data is actually lost, unfortunately.

that's definitively an error on your network. The difference with Messenger logs is that Messenger Plsu! saves the log file very often (Messenger saves the log generally only when you close the chat window).
