Hi,

I was trying to open a news SAS Base session and I received an error saying that one of the temp files on my hardisk is full. After I manually deleted the large tables to clear space I received this error:

After I restarted the machine and tried again but the same error pops up and SAS Base does not start.

I messaged SAS support with the error, but I wanted to know if the issue has been dealt with before.


Thank you!

Possibly a corrupt SASUSER profile.  You can use the -SASUSER option at startup to redirect to another location, see if it helps.  You can also rename/delete the folder in [my documents]\My SAS Files\9.4 to see if that helps.
