OK but you shouldn't have to do that, as WinPoint should have created all the 
root directories automatically during the installation. Here's what my 
directory structure looks like:

---------- 8< ----------
C:\USERS\MARTIN\APPDATA\ROAMING\WINPOINT
+---BadPkts
+---DistribNL
+---Filebase
    +---ECHOLIST
    +---FIDONEWS
    +---NODEDIFZ
    +---NODELISZ
    +---Z2PNT
    +---Z2PNT_D
+---Inbound
    +---Backup
+---MsgBase
+---Outbound
+---Outbound.000
+---Outbound.009
+---Outbound.015
+---Outbound.018
+---Outbound.027
+---Outbound.07A
+---Temp
+---WinPointNL

In all honesty, I don't know but it could have something to do wiith it.

You *do* know that WinPoint stores its configuration data in the registry?
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\New.Vision.Software\Winpoint"
Perhaps it may be an idea to have a look in there to see if there are any 
clues?

Yes, do you see any .TIC files in your "Inbound" directory?
