The device is not ready: 'F:\\'

What's the F: drive on your system?
Did you tell SABnzbd to use it?

Thats the thing there isnt one I cant be sure a usb stick or something didnt go on there and be assigned to F: but I wouldnt ever suddenly tell sab to use that as it always points to E:\Downloads ?
thanks

Which paths are listed on Config->Folders?

Unfortunately after de installing and re installing there is no ini file as I can't even open the exe. To get it to create an ini freaky!

It looks like SABnzbd is confused by the user profile of your system.
You can try to start it like this:
Windows-Key R
Then type
"c:\program files\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.exe" -f c:\users\myname\usenet
Enter
Substitute c:\users\myname\usenet with a folder that suits you.
If you have a 64bit OS use:
"c:\program files (x86)\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.exe" -f c:\users\myname\usenet

The drawback is that you have to start it each time like this, but you can modify the shortcut.

top job - seems to have done the trick -
