Botte is scanning for over 30 Minutes?

Hi there,

i installed the Demo of CrossOver Games.. before i buy i will test if it runs :)

I have a late 2010 MacBook Air

Installed CrossOver Games and created a bottle.. this took about 8 Minutes.. now the bottle is created but in Status: SCANNING

And this is now over 30 minutes... is this normal?

Thanks ans Regards

I created now a new user and tested it with this user.. here all works fine.. bottle is creating fast.. scanning is done in about 5 sec.

Why do it not work with my main user?

Did you ever migrate your primary user account from an old Mac to this new one via Migration Assistant or some other such process? If so, this process can mangle the permissions settings on your account in ways that negatively affect Crossover, but affect few other Mac programs.

To check, login to your primary account and open up a terminal (Applications>Utilities>Terminal). Run the following command:

ls -ld@e ~

A sample output of what you should see is something like this:

jack-mac:~ jack$ ls -ld@e ~
drwxr-xr-x+ 56 jack staff 1904 Oct 6 16:44 /Users/jack
0: group:everyone deny delete

What is your output?
