Ghost 14 Will Not Allow Me To Use A Desired Backup Location

I'm running Vista Home Premium - and this is my first attempt to run Ghost 14.  I attempted to setup a "file and folders" backup  from my media files drive (E) over to a dedicated media files backup drive (L). Ghost has not yet been setup to backup my main operating system drive (C), if that might make any difference in this problem.

 

I used the backup wizard and successfully taged the folders on drive "E" I wanted backed up. I then used the "browse" feature to specify a folder on drive "L" where I wanted the backups to be kept. Immediately I got an error message that states: <unknown result name 'ERR_VALIDATING_DESTINATION'   -External component has thrown an exception.

 

At this point, I can go no further. I searched the tech data base and found no help. I tried the automated Norton troubleshooter that popped up and the program would not load, nor did I get any "active X" warning at the top of my screen...the window  just remained dead. Very nice.

 

To make matters worse, I also tried online chat with Norton tech help and the chat window would not activate!  The URL just loads a blank page and states "done." Is the chat down, or just maxed out in capacity so it doesnt load?

 

Am I frustrated? You bet! 

 

Can anybody please help me?

 

Thanks,

Dennis
