Windows 7 using old version of program from cache?
I am working with a netbook containing Windows 7 Starter.
Last week I created a folder in C:\Program Files. Why did I do this? Well for many years I have had several XP computers set up this way for an MS Access database and all activity occurs in this folder.
So I copied the access database to this folder, everything works fine. This week I have an update of that program (I do my work from another computer) so I overwrote it. When I run it, it's running the old version. I tried deleting it and emptying the recycle bin, then copying the new program again. When I run it, it's still the old version.
So I instead copy the new file to the desktop and run it from there, and it's the right version so I drag it to the folder in Program Files, open it, and it's the old version.
If I rename it to anything but the original name, then it will run as the new version but it seems like it is reading the old version of the program from a cache of some sort. I also tried deleting the entire folder and recreating it but that didn't make any difference.
Does anyone know what's going on here and how to fix it without using a different folder? This database is run on several computers using this folder configuration and I would prefer not to have to change that for the sake of this one computer.
Thanks for your help
