NCHer, thanks for your quick response.
Because there was nothing in the Output Folder drop down window I tried a number of things... I typed in manually: "[same as source file]" and "C:\Users\Mark.MARK-PC\Music\[same as source file]" of which I would have thought it would have tried to write into C:\Users\Mark.MARK-PC\Music\ folder where I keep all my music. I have not had issues writing to this folder.
I am thinking that the software is trying to write to a folder called: "[same as source file]" which is not a valid folder.
Can you confirm that the drop down box should have "[same as source file]" as an option?
Thanks again!

Where have you people been?
This subject has already been discussed, and was answered by NCH (the old guy, not ncher, the new guy). The answer which was given, by one who apparently knew what was going on, is that NCH software currently _does not have any answer to this problem, because there is some "structural" difficulty in the programming code_. This discussion ended with the NCH person saying saying that the fix for this problem would probably be introduced in the next release of the software. This discussion may have been in the WavePad forum, rather than in the Switch forum. However, the same thing applies in both pieces of software.
