I appreciate the need to close properly before switching users from John to mary. To make sure I was following the correct procedure, I powered up, logged on to John, clicked on the pwsave icon (NO message), and closed the safe normally (File\Exit).
I then logged on to Mary, clicked on the icon (Got the Message), and then logged in/out of Mary's safe.
Please review the snaps taken...

I think this is an access control issue. 'Mary' doesn't have write permission to the PasswordSafe install directory, and hence cannot create the required lock file.
Will look for a workaround later - a bit busy right now.

I will commit the change and it will be in V3.20.
Since this was a TEST version, I have renamed it on our website, so that our users do not use it for their precious databases. As I said, it *may* have bugs in it that could affect your data.
Thank you for persevering - we seem to have got there in the end!

The question is how you "I exited the PasswordSafe program".
If you just used the 'X' in the right top corner of the PasswordSafe Window and have set PasswordSafe to minimize to the System Tray, then you have **not** exited PasswordSafe. Therefore, switching users to Mary, and using PasswordSafe again will produce this message as you are still using the configuration file in your other...

OK - as Admin (John) I uninstalled PasswordSafe and downloaded a fresh copy, then installed the new copy. I verified there are NO files that end in 'plk'. When I access my Safe (which remained in place, in a folder in MyDocuments called 'Safes'), I did NOT get the message. I exited the PasswordSafe program, and logged on (switched Users) as the User (Mary).First, I deleted the...

I'm starting to feel a bit inadequate. But I guess there is more to this last message condition than what meets the eye - my eye, anyway. [smile]

I installed the version 3.19.01, edited the entry in the database for the AT&T web site to put in the \z parameter for the autotype and tried it. It worked. I also tried some of my other entries without the \z parameter and they continued to work as well.
Thank you. I'm looking forward to seeing this in a future release.

Hi,
Ouch - I've heard about this malware - a nasty piece of work.
Anyway, the lock mechanism is pretty simple, just a specially named file. To clear up the new problem:
1. Fully exit PasswordSafe (via File->Exit).
2. Open the directory where PasswordSafe's installed.
3. Delete all files ending with '.plk' (e.g., pwsafe.cfg.plk)
4. Restart PasswordSafe.
Cheers,
Rony.

Well - some background here...
My PC crashed with something called 'Anti Virus Pro 2009' ( Malware, NOT an Anti-Virus program at all! ). The PC had to be FDisk-reset and everything was lost. So - I had to start from scratch, and reinstalled XP Pro from my original disk. Everything SEEMED to be working...
The problem was, SP3 (and SP2) needed to be reinstalled. So this was done...
