Sorry, but this is what I said :

If I scan my Testdrivers set (dat file version 20030904), and then I try & use the 'official mame32 cabinets' ......

I got that message when scanning the cabinets set, NOT the testdrivers. If you look at the sequence I outlined, you will see that if I load the 'Testdrivers' datfile, THEN go back to the Profiler and load the 'cabinets' datfile, then run a scan, that is when I get the message.

All of my paths in all of my profiles are correct (i.e. only the '\cabinets' dir for the cabinets datfile), so I'm sorry if you misunderstood!

I know it was a long message, but I wanted to put as much detail in it to help you find the error. :)

Edit : BTW, welcome back, hope you had a good holiday!
