Those are two ideas that I had also. However, I have no other windows open...only clrMAME. I minimize the scanner and results windows and don't have the description box anywhere. In fact, I minimize the scanner window, shrink the results window and try and save and never get the description box.

As for the permissions problem, I'm on Windows 2000, logged in as Administrator. I've tried saving to the local c: drive, a folder in clrMAME, a temp folder, and a few others. I've even tried to save to various network drives. I've checked security settings and I have full access to everything.

All a bust...

Well, looks like a re-install I suppose.
