Boris Failed To Create Directory
Just Sharing my experience.
I always have this problem (Boris Failed To Create Directory/Pixel Chooser …. , etc) when starting Avid.
Before, i must hit enter about a hundred times to get into Avid editing working.
But when I applied effect (let’s say, “Ray Edges Dissolve”) from the BCC, it happened again. And I have to hit enter as much as BCC ask (sometimes every time I change the parameter on slider effect).
Recently I read information about Vista Tweak.
I follow two step above (deactivate UAC and Indexing Search).
Now my Avid MC 3, BCC 5 and Vista 64 Bit Ultimate, working Flaweslly.

Chances are you installed a not that recent version of boris.
There is a “better” solution to totally disabling UAC.
Id it can’t creat a directory, it’s propbably because of
windows preventing avid to do so (through UAC).
So the solution is to add a user to the boris fx directory.(windows 7 but vista should be alike, should upgrade anyway..)
1. open a terminal window type sudo -b, just kiddin! LOL OSX!
SO,
1. as an administrator, you go to program file – boris fx,
2. right click the directory
3. under the “security” tab click “Edit”, then “add”
4. Into the “enter the objects names to select” add a “everyone” user
5. in the permission box grant it full control, and why not grant full control to all the other users.
6. Ok/apply. yes to apply to sub-folders.everything should work and you don’t have to restart your computer to disable UAC which is, I guess, good for you.
The procedure is also useful when permission error occur for example when you try to move media with the AVID using it or in other funny instances. “can’t write, can’t create, whatever access error”, you know.
good luck to all and remember to oil you steinbeck once in a while.
