I solved the problem thanks to @Digital Brilliance Hour . At his last YouTube video I asked the same question and he answered: "So before you do that, what is the path to the game you are trying to open? What are the folder names used to get to the data folder?
Example: C:/AOF/Data"
(My path was: C:\Users\steve\Downloads\OpenBOR\Tools OpenBOR\Beats of Rage 1.0 (the game that started it all) prova\data)
"Ah that's the reason. OpenBORStats doesn't do well with folder names that have spaces in them. Is there a way to rename the folders by removing the spaces?

Among the words put _ or -. (For example: C: Beats_of_Rage or Beats-of-Rage .)

FYI, it's a good rule of thumb to avoid spaces in folder or file names no matter what you are doing. I mean anything, not just OpenBOR stuff. There are still plenty of applications that don't like that. Even the ones that do allow spaces are really just automatically filling in the spaces with symbolic characters.

The best fix is running a batch rename tool to eliminate the spaces. I don't recall for certain, but I believe this file rename application can rename folders as well as files.
