I tried to separate my comments from yours JohnT in the previous post, but it obviously didn't work...how do you "block" comments from another post???
Anyway, hopefully you'll be able to read this now.
I tried this on my computer (running XP) and it worked ok, although using "[TRACK#]" instead of "[TRACK #]" resulted in no track number in the name, just the literal "[TRACK#]" embedded in the filename. Try choosing one of the preset choices for both directory rule and filename rule just to eliminate possible problems with your custom templates.

I reinstalled and now am able to "Rename Files From Properties" without a problem...wierd!

For testing, leave the encoder set at "uncompressed wave" and enable "simultaneous rip/encode". Also ensure your base path location is valid, has sufficient disk space, and isn't locked by read-only permission.

I did this and I get an error "Failed to Create Wav File/Do you want to try another file?"

Another thought, try using the shortest presets for directory and filename rules, perhaps you have some very long track names that cause the final filename to be extremely long? Try a CD with short artist/album/track names.

File and directory names don't appear to be the problem - although I did use a short album with short names...an album with no problems in MJ8.
