The exception points to this line as being the issue: > for gifname in os.listdir(dirpath): and the error says `No such file or directory: '.\\Desktop\\'' So, there must be no directory named '.\\Desktop\\' in your current working directory. To find out your current working directory use `os.getcwd()'. Make sure that `os.getcwd()' returns the path to a directory with a Desktop folder in it. This is usually something like 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\username'. Matt Matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
