I had someone donate a decent computer to me recently, so I was able to
offload my BBS and a bunch of other stuff from my main system to that one.

My Mystic BBS was running in a Windows 7 x86 VM before this, and I had no issues. Running Windows 10 x64 for it now, and still no issues except one.

Whenever mutil is running, it refuses to let me, and I'm assuming anyone
else, connect. The error says something about not being able to create the node. It's really weird. Anyone else have any issues like this with Mystic
and Windows 10 x64?

Hello maskreet!

My Mystic BBS was running in a Windows 7 x86 VM before this, and I had
no issues. Running Windows 10 x64 for it now, and still no issues
except one.

Whenever mutil is running, it refuses to let me, and I'm assuming
anyone else, connect. The error says something about not being able to create the node. It's really weird. Anyone else have any issues like
this with Mystic and Windows 10 x64?

I recently installed the 64b A39 version of Mystic on a Windows 10 64b PC.
And Mystic seems to function without any problems.

Are both the OS and Mystic 64b? And are you loading and running Mystic executables as administrator?

Run as administrator

I had to use a 3rd party util to run it as elevated, since I have software check if it crashes, and to restart it if it does. We'll see how it goes, thanks!

Would you let me know that 3rd party util you use to run as elevated?

Sure, man. It's NirCmd from nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

Just pop nircmd.exe somewhere in your PATH. I had to turn of UAC in Windows, because, yaknow, elevated, but the command for me is just:

nircmd elevate c:\mystic\mis.exe server

Issue is still present, though. I checked the Mystic logs, says "Unable to access users file". It's not just me, either. According to the log, it's been happening a lot.

Thanks for the info. I am familiar with that site, though it has been a long time since I've been there.

Not sure what's going on. On my system, I went to mystic folder and right clicked on mis.exe and went to compatibility and checked Run as
Administrator, didn't check or do anything else.

I think it might have to do with my user file. I noticed a bit ago that my username was listed twice in there with the same user id. Might be corrupted, but at the same time, I can't see Mystic accessing it right when a node is created. So, no idea what's really going on.
