I've used Mobi2Mobi GUI VB V7 several times over the last couple of months and it generally works great. Today is not one of those times. When I start it, it allows me to specify the file that I want to change, and then hangs up.

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3.

When I hit ALT-CNTL-DEL it shows 2-5 copies of Mobi2Mobi.exe running. Watching the "processes" tab, when there are 2 copies (most common) one is around 1,448 kB and doing nothing (CPU = 00), but the other one builds to 15,480 kB and then sits there with the CPU value changing every second or so. I've let it do this for as long as 2 hours and it never does anything else.

I've downloaded .Net 3.5 SP 1 (already had it, ran "Repair") and made sure that I had matched pairs (i.e., I tried GUI V7 with Mobi2Mobi V0.0.43 and GUI V6 with Mobi2Mobi V0.0.41).

I found one place where the WIKI said "download and install Mobiperl scripts" Then it says farther on that you have to tell MobiGUI where the file with the Mobi2Mobi.exe and Mobi2Mobi.pl are. I can't find a Mobi2Mobi.pl anywhere in any of the versions. It seems OK with pointing it to the file with Mobi2Mobi.exe.

Anyone seen this before and have any suggestions?
