vfapi converter not working

[room512]

i've created mpg files with tmpgenc and all works. i've installed & registered the vfapi reader codec and the file for tmpgenc from this site. i've saved my project file. earlier today i converted 2 .tpr files with the vfapi converter with no problem. however, with no change to my system, i now get the error message "???? filename.tpr ????" and it won't load the file to convert. what am i doing wrong? i've turned proxy off on virtual dub. i've used avifile.reg and aviresetall.reg and it still doesn't work.
PLEASE HELP ME if you can, this is driving me mad!
Thanks for your time :o)

if you installed the avihandler from the auxsetup.exe in the virtual dub folder, uninstall it, then try converting with vfapi again (your tpr that is.)
Which xxxxxx.vpf files are listed in your tmpgenc folder?
Was the vfapi install (TMPGEncVFP_Install.bat) from the tmpgenc folder?
Are you converting with dvd2avi? If so, is there a DVD2AVI.vfp in the tmpgenc folde as well?
