So it is not an issue of LOCATION of this file, but issue of permission or a
file.

I think thee same can be for Pierre files.
Pierre, you MOVE files to user account ?
Have you try CREATE them right under user account ?

----
Kiril have spend few hours trying reproduce this issue.
Main problem was:

    * he have made projector in Director.
    * he work on WIN2000
    * here was no problems for user account.

    * when he have try test XP, project just did not run.
        we are not cool Director developers so problem
        was with projector itself I think.
            
So we have give up for now ...


----
I very doubt that issue is related to Valentina, Pierre.
You need really check all such issues as locations, permissions, ...

I hope you have not forget put VComponents folder into your projector,
When you move to user account your projector ..
