Cause
It is possible that the Private folder in the Database Cache is not set to the right path.

Resolution
Go to Options | Database | DB2 | CACHE
On the right side of the page look for the Private Folder. The path should be set like the following example:
"C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\My Documents\Toad Persistent Cache ".
If it is set to anything other than this example, please amend this path to the above example.
