Hello, Rattdaddy

I am sorry to hear about your issue.

Problem of this kind may occur due to file lock. To fix it please make sure that Data Execution Prevention in your system is turned off for the Editor. (For detailed explanation of this procedure, please go here: Windows help & learning ).

You can also try disabling DEP in the system with command line (please don’t forget to run it with Administrator rights):

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff. 

Please also note that this problem may occur because of malware, so you may need to update your antivirus software, check the computer and scan your system.

Hope this helped!

Good luck!

Thank you very much. Running bcdedit from the command prompt solved the problem.
