I just upgraded to Windows 7…java also downloaded and installed an update this morning (which was the first morning I was running Windows 7)

Any clues as to what is going on

Try moving your ‘Vassal Mods’ folder out of ‘C:\Program Files’. Windoze does not like programs writing to ‘C:\Program Files’.

a quick glance indicates that that appears to have fixed it, will holler again if further work reveals that it did not.

thanks for the help
