This is strange behaviour. The command line you showed would write text representation of fingerprints to C:\OUTPUTNAME.smi, which you may not have intended but should not be catastrophic. Possibly the environment variable BABEL_DATADIR has become corrupted. Try re-setting it (via the Control Panel) to the directory containing the OpenBabelData data files. With the 2.3.1 this is probably something like C:\Program Files\OpenBabel-2.3.1\data (I've forgotten exactly where on Windows XP). The latest OpenBabel release is 2.3.2.
