The most likely problem is that you have managed to enter something in
your file that does not follow the syntax, so that LilyPond gets confused.
Do you get any xxx.log file (assuming that your input file was called
xxx.ly)?
In that case, you will hopefully get some hints in it on what's wrong.
Another common problem if you use Notepad in Windows is that it has
saved the
file with a double suffix, like myfile.ly.txt. This is one of the
reasons that it's better
to use the text editor that's started when you just double click on the
LilyPond icon.
For future usage questions, please use the lilypond-user mailing list
and reserve
bug-lilypond for pure bug reports. I have already redirected this
mailing thread
to lilypond-user (make sure to click "Reply All" if you followup this
email).
If you can't solve the problem yourself, please include a copy of your
.ly file
when you send the question to the mailing list.

I had no trouble the first day generating a file according to the instructions.
I'm using Windows XP. Now I am unable to generate a file when I drag/drop or
double click on the .ly file I've created in Notepad.
