I just installed dual client. and when I try to connect i get this error.
Can't open the data files. Check that they exist and that you have permission to write to them. The program will now exit.
I read thru the help file and didn't see anything I thought pertained to this.
Has anyone seen this or know what I should look at?
Thank you.

Hmm now that I'm thinking about it. My other account isn't TOD.
Would this cause AC not to work?

check that you have copied the correct files to the paths listed in ACDualClient.
Click the Copy Files button in the Path Options and then put a check in every box and click Copy.
Also make sure that the dat files are not set to Read-Only, and ensure that you're using the correct ToD paths regardless of whether the account is ToD or not.
You have to be using the latest AC:ToD information in order to be able to play AC.

Nizhoni : what error are you getting?
It seems odd that you would uncheck the boxes, and then they would automatically re-check themselves. Are you running with the -rodat option turned on? That would cause the dat files to become Read-Only. Other than that, I'm not sure of anything that would automatically change a file to read-only except some other 3rd party "Security" software that could do it to help protect you from yourself.

how are you launching AC?
are you using ACDualClient? Are you using a Shortcut on the desktop?
There is an option when Launching AC where you can specify -rodat and it will enable the Read-Only DAT files. That is what I was asking.
Since you have no clue what I'm talking about hoever, my guess is you probably are not unless you had dome something in the past to enable it based on what someone else said, and never changed it back. It's hard to know at this point.
If you cannot get the DAT files to remain NOT Read-Only, then I don't know how to assist you any further. Something is causing them to remain in a Read-Only state, and that isn't good.

Check that you're using the correct paths.
ACDualClient should be pointing to the same place the shortcuts are.
If the shortcuts work, then there is no reason ACDualClient shouldn't.
You may need to run the "First Time Setup" again by clicking the Clear Paths button in ACDualClient then restarting it.
Make sure when it asks you for the path to AC, you put in the same path that the working shortcut points to.
