Re: [Avid-L2] A puzzle for Geniuses: Mac Error -43 (File not found)

My first idea was a shot in the dark.
Since you said you already had the computer sleep set to "never" I think that rules out my guess.
I'd try the usual suspects. Do a quick "find" and delete all the MCState files that come up and then make some new user settings too.
See if that cures it.

HTH,

"Computer Sleep" was set to "Never", but I noticed that the "Put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" box was checked, which I assumed would have no effect if that computer didn't sleep. However, I've now unchecked it, so we'll see if that helps. Thank you!
