Hello Frank, It can't be quite as simple as you thing as my version of WinBMD is loaded in the programs folder and I don't have any problems. The output folder is where I would expect it to be. Regards Brian Smart -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Frank Hodgson Sent: 21 November 2008 09:12 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: WINBMD Output file Allan I am grateful for the recent comments on the list about the need to install WinBMD in the root directory and not in the Program Files folder. I have just uninstalled WinBMD then reinstalled it in the root directory as advised. This has eliminated my problem of files being saved to a VirtualStore folder. I think the problem has been caused by people like myself, when initially installing WinBMD into Vista, accepting the default location in the installation process, which is shown as C:\Program Files\WinBMD and I'm sure that your offer of some clearer instructions will help.

Hello Brian, I'm glad it works for you. It seems strange that some people have this Vista problem and others don't. I have no technical knowledge so I can't take this any further.
