Windows 10 Allegro 16.6 Mapped drive issue

Wild
Wild over 8 years ago

Allegro - 16.6 SO87 (Hot fix 87)
Windows 10 upgrade - 64 bit Professional

Problem:
Libraries located on server and accessed by mapped drives.  Allegro can not located the mapped drives if any other application (i.e. file explorer) is open and pointing to mapped drive.

My work around is ensure no other application is open and accessing the mapped drive.
I have not confirmed this any on other machines yet in our domain.
Lucky me I was a Beta for this conversion :)

Has anyone else seen this, and resolved this issue?

Kind Regards,
Wild

    Turns out that my issue (and several others) were caased by Adobe Acrobat XI. I just updated to Adobe Acrobat DC and my mapped drive issues with Allegro disappeared.
    Go figure.

    Thanks,
