Warning message when starting Mnemosyne

[Guy Waterval]

  Hello! When I start Mnemosyne, I often get a message warning me that another copy of Mnemosyne is already running, and that it’s not possible to continue without risking data loss. The message persists even after I restart my computer. However, when I click OK in the warning box to close the window, Mnemosyne runs correctly and apparently without any data loss. Any idea why this message keeps appearing? Thank you very much.

It might be that the lock file Mnemosyne creates somehow got turned read only. You can have a look in Mnemosyne's data directory and try deleting MNEMOSYNE_LOCK manually.
