I have problem with the latest version of PPT.

I downloaded the 0.6.jar. I have Java (and it works, I have no problem with other jar files, for example CalcCubeTimer, the predecessor of PPT works fine), but when I wanted to start PPT, I got this single error message:

Database Error: IO Exception: "java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Windows\System32\puzzletimer.lock.db (Access is denied)"; "C:\Windows\System32\puzzletimer.lock.db" [90031-137]

It seems like that puzzletimer.lock.db or what is missing - but why and how should it be there in the first place?
So, any ideas?

I use Windows7 (64 bit), Java JRE 1.7.

The issue is that the program doesn't have write privileges in C:\Windows\system32, so either the path the program is in has some unusable characters, so it defaulted, or you installed PPT in system32. Either way you need to move where PPT is on your computer.

Okay, the issue is solved, however, in a funny way...

For .jar files, the default file handler is the Total Commander, so with a double click I can open the jar files and look inside (for research). I usually start them with right click -> "open with java". That caused a problem here.

After I set the default file handler to java, PPT started normally with a double click, and it generated the required puzzletimer.lock.db file (and a puzzletimer.h2.db file) into the same folder.

I get a "Could not find the main class: com.puzzle.main. Program will exit" when I try to run the file from the Requests page. The 0.6 version works fine. How do I fix this problem?

Oh and I'm using a Windows 8.1 computer

Hey,

the mac os x download link isn't working for me. Is there anywhere else I can download it?

EDIT: I've found it on the website.


Another question,
does anyone know if it's possible to use a stackmat on a macbook air?

You're probably running an older version of Java. Try updating your Java.

Nice! I loved it! Though some of the puzzle scrambles don't load for me (for whatever reason), it is the best I have seen!
Also, how to get to the graphs?
