Why does “I/O Error 32” occur when saving a signature for MS Outlook / Outlook Express?
Error 32 is “File access denied”, Outlook Express is locking the signature file, so KookieJar cannot delete it and create a new one in its place. Microsoft programs are notorious for locking files even when they’re not using them. I’m afraid there’s little that KookieJar can do here; if the file is locked, no other program can change its contents. You can turn off the error message (in the Preferences dialog box, “General” tab, turn off the “Alert on signature failures” option, so it won’t bother you anymore), but the signature will not be updated as long as Outlook Express is running. You could use KookieJar with the “/exit” command-line switch, as described in Help, so that the program starts up, creates a new set of signatures and exits automatically. You would lose the frequent update of the signature that way. Or, you can keep KookieJar running, but turn the timer off, and generate new signatures manually, only when Outlook Express is not running. You can also experiment a little
