After a couple of minutes emacs starts throwing this error Creating directory: permission denied, c:/.emacs.d the error of course, is because i don't have permission to create that file there. It throws this error 20 or so times when i can just get rid of it with C-g, but then all of a sudden it does it one too many times and then crashes. Which means, every time I use emacs, after 5 or 6 minutes i'm saving every five seconds, because i know the program is getting ready to crash . . . by the way, once i get this worked out and working, i'm going to present it to the portable app guys, and if they don't want to host it, I'm at least going to write a tutorial and publish it, somewhere . . . It seems surprising to me that no one else has done this yet, or am i just missing something?
