OSCAR won't run [Luna machine not supported]

[DrJimagain]

Hello,
First timer and new CPAPER here.
I downloaded and installed OSCAR. After language screen it suggested a folder and I agreed. Then it asked about old data. Since I had none, I followed directions and software said it could not work.
I also tried yes, picked a folder and of course it had no data so software would not accept so I am stuck.
Advice needed to proceed.
Thanks

Unfortunately, the Luna is not currently supported by OSCAR.

Here is a list of pap machines that are supported by OSCAR:

1.5.3 Win 64
Windows 11

Posting the image is an issue.
I get a pop up asking me to select a folder with Sleepuhead or Oscar data.. press NO if you don't want to use any of that data.

I press NO


The software responds with a big red X
Exoting
Unable to write to OSCAR data directory
Error code 5-cannot find file specified

OSCAR cannot continue and is exiting

Thanks

I didn't see post #2 from OpalRose. Your machine is a Luna 2.
It is NOT supported by Oscar.

The issue you have described is a Windows problem : there is a thing to do but I don't remember what.
I'm a Linux user.

DrJimagain - Windows 11 has increase security settings preventing this.  Here are the steps to correct the problem.

To specify which users or groups can access a file or folder:

1. Right-click the file or folder you want to set permissions for and select "Properties".
   
2. Navigate to the "Security" tab.
   
3. Click on the "Edit" button to change permissions.
   
4. In the permissions window, select a user or group from the list. Then, check or uncheck the boxes in the "Permissions for [username]" section to grant or deny specific permissions (like "Read", "Write", etc.).
   
5. Tip: Adding the group, "Everybody" and setting it to Full Access for your Documents folder should correct OSCAR access problems.
   
6. If the option "Apply to subdirectories" is present, select it.
   
7. Click "OK" to apply the changes.
   

   

User Account Control (UAC):

• UAC is a security feature that can prompt users for permission or an administrator password before allowing certain tasks.
  
• To adjust UAC settings:
  • In the search bar, type "UAC" and click on "Change User Account Control settings".
    
  • Use the slider to select the desired level of notification/alert. Moving the slider to the top will notify you whenever apps try to make changes, while moving it to the bottom will disable notifications.
    
  • Click "OK" to save the changes.
