My TEMP directory is pointing to a ram drive. After a reboot I didn't create it yet, forgot about it and started mp3tag and got this: ![47](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/5/55d3c70322ea7a71c357ca8013aef501c464447b.png) Not a big issue, but a better message would be nice. The error log file stays empty. ---

> [@fortemezzo](#): > > My TEMP directory is pointing to a ram drive. After a reboot I didn't create it yet you redirected temp path of mp3tafg or %temp% ? %temp% wow be bad idea... you will get in trouble with a lot of applications and windows itself. In your case, you should create ramdrive automatically on early system startup to prevent problems. ---
