Hello,

I recently had a problem with a game launcher; it wouldn't start the application. I then looked into the error logs to find what seemed to be the cause of my issues:
(The operation could not be completed on a file that has an open user-mapped section).
I searched online to understand what this error meant. I found several discussions—some people had this error with a uTorrent installation, others with running their code, etc.
It seems to be a Java issue, but I don't know much more than that.
So, if anyone knows what this error means and how to fix it, I would be grateful. Thank you.

    Hello,

    I redirected you to the Windows forum, your message is not related to Programming.

    To move things along a bit, what version of Windows are you using? Is it the same computer you had another issue with yesterday?

      Thank you for your quick response,

      I appreciate that you took the time to look at my post from yesterday, but it's not the same computer.
      I had a hard time finding where to post this message; the Windows forum is indeed probably more appropriate, thank you for moving it.
      I am using Windows 7 and version 7 of Java. Moreover, I understood that this is error number 1224.

      It's not a Java error, but a Windows one!
      It is indeed error 1224, ERROR_USER_MAPPED_FILE, as described in the Windows NT Error Codes

      Now, I'm not a Windows expert, and I'll leave it to others to help you fix this, but I imagine they will need to know the game you are trying to start and if you are familiar with the technologies normally required for its operation...

      This seems to be a register error...
      I'm starting to have difficulty finding information that could help me, having gone through quite a few forums.
      Before saying any more nonsense, I will wait for someone more qualified to take an interest in my problem.
