Dear all, I have a problem with my window elog installation (2.9.2) and I would like to ask your help for solving it.

I'm using elog on my lab computer for a single user installation, so something very simple. It was running smoothly for many months using the automatic window service (i.e. elogd was started automatically at boot). I need to add that the service is started as the local administrator, while my user has no administrative rights. ELOG is installed in the standard location C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\ with the logbook folder inside and this is actually accessible only for admins.

On 8/04/2016, elogd crashed while I was saving an edited message. Then instead of restarting the service or rebooting the PC, I was just starting elogd manually (as me not as admin). It worked for many weeks. And now comes the problem: at the next reboot the elogd service came up automatically but all the new records I added in the logbook since I re-started manually are not there. Indeed in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\logbooks the latest entry is 160408a.txt. But if I stop the service and restart elogd manually (as me not as admin), then I can see in the logbook all the new entries.

My questions is where the ascii files corresponding to the new entries? They must be saved somewhere, maybe in some temporary folder. I want to copy them back and keep them in the backup to avoid unpleasant surprise.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Antonio
