Okay, I will try to be more specific; sorry. By the way, I am using Windows.
Partial success! I downloaded this file: http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/node/164), saved to my desktop, and opened it in the mnemosyne software. It appears to be working. I still cannot get the 1st set GRE cards (listed under english). Im not sure why, I did everything the same for both files. For now, I will work on this set of words, and let you know if I need help downloading another. Also, you mentioned changing a setting under the File Format drop down menu....I don't see this option. Under the file menu I have New, Open, Save, Save As, Import, Export and Exit. Do I still need to do this if it is working? Thanks for all your help!
