This has been happening a lot lately...Twice in just
this past week.

I am using FeedReader 2.90 with Win XP Home. When I
load FeedReader the error message I sometimes get is:

"Error loading subscribed feeds. Cannot open file
C:\Documents and settings\lynn\application
data\feedreader\subscriptions.xml. The process cannot
access the file because it is being used by another
process."

So I click ok on the error message and feedreader loads
with none of my feeds and I have to re-import them all
over again. I have no idea what the "other process"
could be, I don't run any other RSS programs and there
aren't any other programs which access that particular
file.

Any ideas? Because this is getting really annoying.

It takes so long to save information that I suspect XP sometimes
nukes the program when you are shutting down the system. And
so Feedreader hasn't finished writing to the disk.

Try quitting it first before you shut down.

Actually, this error only occurs when I am starting
FeedReader, not when I am shutting down windows.

I had the same, the subscription.xml file got corrupted
due to a power failure of the pc. So feedreader doesn't
protect itself for such occasions. An automatic backup
build-in would be a nice-to-have

Had the same problem!

But managed to restore my feeds as follows: in the
feedreader directory I found an empty
file 'subscriptions.xml' as well as a file '
subscriptions_bad.xml'. I closed Feedreader, renamed
the 'bad file' back into 'subscriptions.xml', and
restarted Feedreader.

All my feeds are now back, but I lost my history of
messages.

Just to be sure I backed up mu subscriptions.xml today, in
ase it happens again
