Al, You and Rolf are instructing along the same lines. After downloading the windows 6.1 professional images, there are 4 of them, 3 with a png extension and the other with an xml. However, the image is not able to do anything. There is no option (in the file menu) to configure for a shared folder. Maybe I downloaded the wrong thing. After I understand this part, when you said to install the program by putting the CAB file into the folder and running it, did you mean the 'nsb' file (containing my code) in the desktop or emulator folder? Trust me, once I understand all of it, I will write down the steps and not bother you again. I do appreciate the help from you and Rolf.
