This looks like it might be a problem with opening temporary files on Windows. Can you try replacing the refmac5.exe file in your $CCP4/bin directory with the following:
ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/nds/windows/refmac5.exe (It is probably worth keeping the old refmac5.exe under a different name, just in case you want to revert to it). The modified executable has two goes at opening a temporary file - if the ordinary Windows method fails it will try another method.

Dear all, I got some strange problems with the refmac. The whole ccp4 package was newly downloaded to my laptop( window, off-line installation),including ccp4mg and coot. First, refmac randomly fails to complete task( as shown as below). "randomly" means it failed one time, but will run through and complete the task the other time, I have got no control over it. Second, Even after the tasks are finished and I see the output pdb and map files, (so far I have run SFcheck and refmac,) it does not show" finished" but "running". It only switches to "finished" after I shut down ccp4 and restart. Overally ccp4 works on my laptop, but the unstable performance is kind of nagging me down. If you could offer your suggestions, I appreciate it very much. river-lake fang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------- CGMAT cycle number = 3 $TEXT:Warning: $$ comment $$ WARNING: CCPOPN Logical name C:\Ccp4Temp\\refmac5_temp1.03096_REFSCR_1 has no associated file name $$ Open failed: Unit: 8, File: C:\Ccp4Temp\\refmac5_temp1.03096_REFSCR_1 (logical: C:\Ccp4Temp\\refmac5_temp1.03096_REFSCR_1) Refmac_5.2.0019: Open failed: File: C:\Ccp4Temp\\refmac5_temp1.03096_REFSCR_1 Times: User: 0.0s System: 0.0s Elapsed: 0:58 </pre> </html> ************************************************************************ *** * Information from CCP4Interface script ************************************************************************ *** The program run with command: refmac5 XYZIN "C:/Ccp4Temp/M5/new_m5_refmac1-coot-2.pdb" XYZOUT "C:/Ccp4Temp/m5_14_4_pdb_1.tmp" HKLIN "C:/Ccp4Temp/M5/m5_3_1_.mtz" HKLOUT "C:/Ccp4Temp/m5_14_6_mtz_1.tmp" LIBIN "C:/Ccp4Temp/M5/m5_3_50_lib.cif" LIBOUT "C:/Ccp4Temp/M5/m5_14_lib.cif" has failed with error message Last system error message: Permission denied Refmac_5.2.0019: Open failed: File: C:\Ccp4Temp\\refmac5_temp1.03096_REFSCR_1 ************************************************************************ *** #CCP4I TERMINATION STATUS 0 Last system error message: Permission denied Refmac_5.2.0019: Open failed: File: C:\Ccp4Temp\\refmac5_temp1.03096_REFSCR_1 #CCP4I TERMINATION TIME 20 May 2007 19:35:09 #CCP4I MESSAGE Task failed _________________________________________________________________ More photos, more messages, more storage-get 2GB with Windows Live Hotmail. http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migr ation_HM_mini_2G_0507
