Now, this one has me stumped.

Hello all... new to the forum, but not to MAME. My first cabinet (that I built for my co-workers), has a full MAME set, runs Hyperspin as the FE (with all videos and themes), has a built-in audio amplifier and dual, powered subwoofers in the base. It looks like this:
Now that you know I'm not a complete noob (wink), I wanted to ask for some help with something that has stumped me recently. I've installed MAME version 146 on four computers now, but on the last one (a small, low-power nettop), I'm getting a "DIFF CHD ERROR: File Not Found" code on ONLY my games that require CHD files (all other games play fine):
Followed by "ERROR: Required files are missing, the game cannot be run." message:
Now, here's the thing. I've tried everything I could find online (yes, Google is my friend), as well as several other tricks, and nothing has allowed CHD games to play. Here's what I've tried:
- I have re-installed MAME.
- I have copied MAME over from another computer that runs these games perfectly.
- I have copied the CHD and zip files of these games from another computer that runs these games perfectly.
- I've removed the contents of the DIFF folder (though on my most recent re-install of MAME from the MAME downloads site, I don't have a DIFF folder).
- I have used both ROM and CHD files that are compatible with build 146, as evidenced by the fact that I have three other machines using these exact same files just fine (and they also come from a reputable source who updates files regularly and has never given me a bad dump).
- My computer is a brand-new build, with nothing but Win7 64-bit installed (no other apps except what came with the machine, Chrome, XPadder, Hyperspin and MAME).
- I have no other issues with my PC, Hyperspin or MAME. All other games run fine.
I tried searching these forums for answers, but it seems like I must be missing something simple. Any help at all would be appreciated.
