Kinect server not working

Greenfoot Kinect server suddenly stopped working (it worked OK for almost two weeks before this moment). Its log reads "Error writing config to temporary file". Therefore no scenario with kinect could be started. I tried to reinstall greenfoot kinect server, but this did not help. The kinect device as such is in a working condition - it works with the other computer. What could I do to make it work again?

That part of the server can only fail if there's a problem creating and writing to temporary files. Are you on Windows, Mac or Linux? I'll assume Windows for now. Temporary files are written to whatever the setting of your TMP variable is. If you open up a command prompt and type: 
echo %TMP%
That will tell you the location. For me, on Windows 7, it's "C:\Users\neil\AppData\Local\Temp". I'd suggest checking whether the disk is full at this location (or whether this directory has somehow got deleted or become inaccessible) and also maybe try deleting all the files beginning with "GKT". All of those are the temporary Kinect configs, and you can build up a few of them (although I've got over 1,000 and my server is still working).

Great! There were FFFF temp files. The server just seems to have run out of namespace. The issue is that I have not used kinect a lot. It took just several hours working to get this outcome.

Ok, thanks for letting me know. I'll rework the software for the next release so that it doesn't do that again in future.
