Guest D Lee Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I have an *.LDB file in my Internet Logs Folder. What is an LDB File and why do I need it? I have tried deleting it but the system won't allow it. ---- Dave

It is a 'lock file' used to keep muti-user databases from being changed in the same place by two processes at the same time resulting in possible data corruption. From your reference, am I correct in assuming that has to do with Zone Alarm? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

If that folder gets out of hand, you can boot to safe mode and delete all the files in it. Your Zone Alarm settings will have to be reset, but those files tend to grow, especially the .rdb files.
Guest Dave Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Re: LDB Files As Shenan Stanley and Wally have pointed out this is a Zone Alarm file. I discovered the file during a problem running Drive Image 7 and now believe the problem was due to some kind of conflict between the two programs. I am not really computer literate enough to understand this kind of thing but keep trying to learn. One would think when you get to be eighty years old you would know everything. However, I am constantly humbled by the discovery that I have new things to learn. Thank you both for your help. --- Dave "D Lee" <leedave@otelco.net> wrote in message news:u0PQlYWAIHA.1184@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >I have an *.LDB file in my Internet Logs Folder.
