cannot create temporary documents

Hello, I have a problem. When starting Archicad 25, a "caution" box appears with the words "cannot create temporary documents". And after a few seconds, the program closes itself. It does not create a new file either. I tried deleting all the files that appear in the first page and the box remains. In the folder Graphisoft, there is no file "autosave-25". Could you please help?

Does your user profile have full read/write access to all of the folders it should on your local drive?

Sounds like a permission problem to me.

What operating system are you using?

Hello!

 

I am using Windows 10, if this is what you mean.

My archicad licence is for students. Till yesterday, I was using it but today this problem appeared.

Thank you for your reply!

You have disc space? Temp folder space? Run a disc cleanup, or what ever the eq. is on Mac?

If it was working before, then the problem isprobably not access permissions.

More likely a lack of hard drive space as Ling has suggested.

Free disc space: 30GB and I just deleted all the files in temporary folder. I tried to open Archicad again but the message remains.

Thank you!

Completely re-boot your machine.

That may clear the problem.
