The usual suspects to look for with post-processing issues are:

The settings in c:\denford\mcd2.ini
especially check this setting is correct:
[Path Data]
GNC Name=C:\Denford\Data\GENERIC.GNC

also check win.ini inside c:\windows
[Denford Machine Tools]
Directory=C:\Denford\

I believe this directory should point to wherever millcam is installed.

I would also update to the very last version (2.2a) from here:
