Ventriilo resets every time my PC does

Antrias · 06-13-2010, 10:18 AM

I have been using Ventrilo for years and have never had a problem. Just recently i turned my computer on and noticed my name and all my servers have deleted themselves. I thought nothing of it and re-entered all my information. Shut my PC down again came back today and it is all gone again!
Any suggestions?

sounds like you have a windows read/write permission problem with the ventrilo folder located here:

%appdata%\ventrilo

your info is stored in ventrilo2.ini

what version of windows are you running?

and are you logged in as a full admin

Windows 7/admin vent 3.0.5

Prog-Rocker · 06-15-2010, 12:15 AM

in a browser or file explorer:

%appdata%\ventrilo

then rt-clik on the folder / properties / security tab / allow permissions

also try temp disabling all firewall/virus apps

Didn't help =(

in that same folder

delete the ventrilo2.ini file

this will effectively start vent from scratch.

also try creating a new text file in the ventrilo folder. if you can save the file then the folder permissions should be OK

rt-clik > new > text document
