blank How can I fix the problem "There is another instance of Eudora running on a remote computer"?
When you're running Eudora in a typical configuration, you are connected to a remote computer, the Chemistry Windows server (where your U: drive lives that contains, amongst other things, your Eudora mailboxes/messages, individualized settings, addressbook [nickname] entries, etc.). You run the main executable from your local machine, but using the settings, etc. that are stored on the U: drive.

If the system gives you the message

There is another instance of Eudora running on a remote computer

  1. select "Exit this instance of Eudora".
  2. After you are sure Eudora is not running on your local machine, go to your U: drive, and inside the eudora folder look for a file named OWNER.LOK.
  3. Delete the OWNER.LOK file.
Now you should be able to start up Eudora again without getting the error message.
