    Hi all,

    I've recently restored my PC from a restoring point. After doing that I got following error message each time Nod tries to update. I re-installed Nod 32 but it seems the problem is elsewhere since the error message is still there....

    Would anybody be kind enough to explain me what to do ??

    Thanks
    T.

    Maybe the TMP and TEMP system variables are not defined in your system after restoring, or the directories to which they point do not actually exist on disk.

    Please check the aforementioned variables actually point to existing directories. Right click on My Computer --> Advanced tab --> click Environment Variables button. You should have settings that look similar to below snapshots:

    Please double click on TMP and TEMP and then compare with snapshots.

    I'd try redirecting both TEMP/TMP user variables to c:\windows\temp, sometimes a long path may cause problems.

    You may want to make sure that these folders are actually there. One way to do this is to go to a Command Prompt and type this:

    start %TMP%
    start %TEMP%

    A Windows Explorer windows will come up, displaying the folder.

    As an alternative, click on Start then Run
    Type:
    explorer %temp%
    explorer %tmp%

    Same response as below, but not using the short path.

    OK Guys I finally got the problem solved. At long last !!

    The Temp and TMP folders were missing from c:\windows folder... I just re-created them..... :D

    Many thanks to all of you for having driven me towards the right direction

    Cheers

    Tony
