John,
I am starting BB with the java -jar brailleblaster.jar command. Is that how
you start it?
I will try it on my laptop and see if it is working there. It is running
Windows 7 x64, though, too. That's what you are running, right?
Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,
Vic

The bug will be corrected in the next push.
My Windows drive is indeed C. However, I've encountered another case of
Java not likeing C: We need to find out why the folders are created on
your system and not on mine.
