Can't really see the error. Have you just upgraded to Windows 7 as well? If so try right clicking on the shortcut and running as admin and then retry.

Need a better picture really to diagnose further other than the above.

The point I was making is that the folder is C:\Users\John\My Documents\Convertxtodvd but the error said the files could not be found in C:\Users\John\Documents\Convertxtodvd (note the Documents not MY Documents)

Glad you solved it anyways.

Even if you are using an Administartor acc you sometimes need to right-click .exe's in Win7 and Run-As Administrator; other wise the application does not always have the full read/write permissions it needs. Part of Windows7's UAC security settings.

ok thanks for that ..

As Crestfallen has says from what I could see (in the poor picture

) it looked like it couldn't write the output file hence running as administrator fixed it.
