Thanks ! I will check that out. It may be my Norton anti-virus software. They had a big update , and the next time I opened PS is when it happened.

Generator uses a local network connection to communicate with Export As. Make sure that port 8010 is open for Generator and Export As to function. I have no idea what port 8010 is?
