I installed imagemagick and I was running the recommended test "convert logo:logo.miff" and I got a "Access is Denied" instead.

I installed version 6.6.9-6. Any ideas as to what is happening and how I can fix this?

try

convert logo: logo.miff

note the space after logo: and before logo.miff

tried that. It still says access is denied.

what do you get from

convert -version

Perhaps your install did not work fully. Or you have bad permissions somewhere.

Same issue, it says "Access is denied"

Not sure if this helps, but I recently upgraded from XP Home to XP Professional. ImageMagick was working fine with XP Home.
Double clicking the file "convert.exe" under windows results in the command prompt writing a bunch of stuff before command prompt closes.

Any idea where I could view permission settings?

Sorry I am not a Windows user. I use IM on the Mac platform. Hopefully a Windows IM user will reply with some suggestions.

The only other thought would be to re-install IM after you have upgraded Windows.

Note also that Windows has its own convert.exe which is different from IM convert. So you may need to rename IM comvert to im_convert or something like that to avoid any confusion.
