The error message indicates that you do not have write
privileges in the C:\Program Files\Golden Software\Surfer8\
folder.
The "GSaXXXX" file is a temporary file that is used to save changes to the default settings
in the surfer.set file. For example, the message may reference \GSa02476 or \GSa02200.
To resolve the problem:
Grant write privileges to
the Surfer 8 folder.
If you cannot grant write privileges, start Surfer with a surfer.set
file in another directory where you do have write privileges.
To start Surfer
with a different surfer.set file, create a new shortcut
and specify the location of the new setting file (.set) in the File |
Preferences | Dialog Defaults tab.
"C:\<path1>\surfer.exe" /set "D:\<path2>\surfer.set"
<path1> is
usually \Program Files\Golden Software\Surfer8\ .
D:\<path2> is the new
surfer.set location.
