I get this problem all the time,

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

line:

C#

System.IO.File.Replace(v.FullName, temppathmoment + @"Minecraft\OMinecraft\", temppathmoment + @"MinecraftBackUP\" + v.Name + "_backup");

If anyone can help me put permissions, or something for this problem..

i think permissions problem

set the permissions as a administrator (whos run the application user)
or
right click of the visual studio run as a administrotar give credentials and run the application to check it.

I assume you want to replace a file with the file v. Your problem now is that the 2nd argument is a folder, and it should be the file you want to replace.

If you have a folder with with 2 files (a.txt and b.txt) and run this:

File.Replace("a.txt", "b.txt", "b_old.txt");

you will end up with b.txt(wich was called a.txt) and b_old.txt(the old b.txt).

If you goal is to just make a backup. I suggest using File.Copy().

System.IO.File.Copy(v.FullName, temppathmoment + @"MinecraftBackUP\" + v.Name + "_backup");

If not you need to put a path to a file, not a folder as the 2nd argument.
