I have all my storage paths to a different drive than my OS drive. None are pointed to the BI program folder.
I just noticed I had a "save to file" box checked saving to my desktop from when I was trying to troubleshoot the failed notifications. Also that BI.pdf was on my desktop for some reason now. After unchecking and restarting BI I'm not seeing the error. Time will tell, but I think that fixed it.
