Re-install now nothing working.

[Agrajag]

I downgraded from Windows 7 (no thanks) back to XP SP3 and upon re-installing Reference I can't convert any music or rip any of my CD's.

I keep getting errors just saying:

Error converting to mp3 (Lame), 'F:\Music\The Beatles\1967-1970\The Beatles - A Day in the Life.flac' to 'F:\Music\The Beatles\1967-1970\The Beatles - A Day in the Life.mp3'
Error unable to open File 'F:\Music\The Beatles\1967-1970\The Beatles - A Day in the Life.mp3' for writing. [clEncoder::BeginConversion]

Configuration says everything is installed and updated.

What the heck am I overlooking here?

Re: Re-install now nothing working.

A bit more info:

I was able to convert and rip by pointing to a different drive. The only thing I can think of there is that Carbonite is currently backing up a load of files in my Music folder (not everything) so perhaps it is in some way locking out the other apps?

Re: Re-install now nothing working.

That was the error (unable to open the file) something had it locked.
