I seem to fight this problem a bit, and I suggest that
when it happens, just extract a "fresh" clrmame from
the zipfile and try again. It doesn't seem to do it
every time.


Once it messes up though, it seems to be messed up even after
a reboot. So I have a bunch of "clrmame_bad"
directories on my hard drive 8-)

I wonder if it has anything to do with Norton Antivirus?
