It sounds like it might be somthing to do with the postprocessor list. Did you get the installation from the website? If so then if you have deleted any posts from the list or tried to edit them (or add one) it may have caused an issue. My best recommendation from what you said would be to uninstall the software, then re-download a freshinstall from the site and try re-installing it. If this does not work then please email me direct at jab(at)carve3d(dot)com
Thanks,
James

This message is usually caused by the Post Processor folder having been deleted ( or all of the post processors within the folder being deleted )
(Default location is "C:\Program Files\Vector Art 3D Machinist\PostP"
It might be wise to re-install the software if this is the case.
I hope that this helps.

Just to add to Mark's post, as well as deleting all the posts you can occasionally encounter this error if you add new posts or do a lot of editing of the posts in Machinist - there is a fix but it involves an uninstall, edit the registry and re-install. As this is a process better discussed over the phone, please call or email with your info if you do see this problem (so far its only occured 3 or 4 times to our knowledge) and we will help you though it.
Thanks, James
