Not sure what happened... I moved to a new machine, downloaded a new version. Exported settings on old one, imported fine. Then today I went to do an Action and notiiced they weren't there. No biggie, I can rewrite them.
So I enter the one I use all the time to remove the / from a track number... Then click the checkbox to apply that action. It scans thru the files, and says 0 of 7 tags affected. OK, I must've mistyped something. Go into Actions again - and the Dialog box is empty! It never saved my action, so never applied it (I assume).

RevRagnarok,
I'm also not sure what happened 
You can try to delete the registry value HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\Software\Moebius\Mp3tag\Settings\WorkFolder
Maybe it contains a directory name which is not available at the other computer.
Best regards,

No luck, that was set to the valid **C:\Documents and Settings\me\Application Data\Mp3tag\**
☹

No, too late. I uninstalled/reinstalled and it was fine.
