system file spssd.conf corrupted

Chris Cronin

SPSS 13 - for the second time this year, I got an error dialog box to check the integrity of the subject file when starting SPSS and it refuses to start.  When I navigate to the file in the SPSS directory it has a size of 0.  This appears to be happening upon or after running a production routine that runs two .sps syntax files.  Luckily I have SPSS 13 on two nearly identical machines and copying the file from the other machine, which is about 5k, fixes the problem.  I haven't had the same occur on the second machine.

What is doing this, can I write - protect the file, does it matter if I replaced it with the file from a different machine?

Thanks for your assistance.
