Temporary file needed for initialization could not be created

Contracted a virus through FaceBook.  After spending a whole day, I resorted to format my C drive and do a clean reinstall of XP...

Now, a BACK program I used for FOUR years with XP is run or re-install.

I get the error message is:

"A temporary file needed for initialization cannot be created or cannot be written to. Make sure that the directory path exists, and disk space is available.  "Choose close 'Close' to end the application.

The directory path really exists and there is a lot of space.  I tried a program emulator BACK (DOS window), but it remains too small for me is not satisfactory.

ANY GUIDANCE WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED!

"A temporary file needed for initialization cannot be created or cannot be written to. Make sure that the directory path exists, and disk space is available.  "Choose close 'Close' to end the application.

This sounds like a custom environment variable that uses the program is no longer defined. The program requires the path to the variable of environment to write some TMP files. If you have a custom AutoExec.nt files, you can check out them for one or several SET commands.

The program may also have an option (INI?) file. See if you can open in Notepad and check the paths you will find.

Quite difficult to offer more or less an idea of what the program is or was created in.
