And the grand prize goes to Marta!
I just tried running as admin and it worked.
OTOH:  I see that as a problem for anyone who doesn't have admin rights!

Feeling nostalgic today...

I run into the same problem when (in my pre-Stata days), my University
switched to Windows 7, SPSS 15 gave the same error message. I found out
that running SPSS as Administrator (right click, etcetera..) eliminated
the problem. I was able to check it with SPSS 20/W7 recently, and
running as Administrator solved the problem.

Best regards and HTH

This seems to be the case, at least by convention, although
immediately on launching SPSS or after executing a NEW FILE, the
active dataset has no name, no variables, and no cases. Appended is
an illustrative run, using SPSS 14 under Windows.

Richard,
I confirm your output (version 20).
What I want to say though, is that version 14 isn't a good option to explore behaviours of multiple datasets.
I had an opportunity to do it on that version and noticed, for example, that it occasionally allowed for several unnamed datasets to exist simultaneously! There were also other bugs with DATASET... commands. These commands were debugged and finalized in version 15.
