I use Demonbuddy on my desktop PC at home with Windows 10 all the time. No issues there. So I know how it's supposed to work. I've used it on this laptop as well in the past, but not recently.

Last night I reinstalled Diablo 3. I made sure Battlenet is set to load the 32bit client. I copied the DB directory off my desktop PC to a hard drive, and then copied the directory onto my laptop. Tried to run it several times and kept getting an error message that Demonbuddy can not rename itself?

So I deleted the copied directory and downloaded a fresh installer from this site. The install said it completed successfully, but when I try to run Demonbuddy.exe I get

Demonbuddy was unable to rename itself on startup: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

In my task manager, I dont see any DB Processes running.

Ideas?

Thanks!

It is NTFS formatted. I ended up getting it to work, eventually. All I did was close and relaunch the application many many times, and eventually it worked. I'm not exaggerating, I bet did that about 20 times before it finally worked. Several times I had to log into the the Buddy Auth portal and kill the session.

The problem arose again tonight. It took 8 relaunches before it finally behaved normally.

Maybe the issue is this old ass laptop, or windows 7? I don't normally have this issue on my Win 10 gaming PC at home. (that I know of at least, I'm travelling and on hotel wifi this week)
 
probably an OS glitch,nothing to worry about
