No, the problem is still there. This message is the last thing I see
from datacrow:

" Data Crow was unable to create the images directory. This indicates
that the user running Data Crow has insufficient permissions. The user
running Data Crow must have full control over the Data Crow folder and
all if its sub directories."

If I answer it with OK, that was it ...

But don't worry, I have a new problem: tvbrowswer crashes, because I use the "right" java-version.
