Rolf and Al (if you are monitoring), I am pulling my hair out over this seemingly simple problem.
Here is what I am finding... XP computer: I have a 2003 se emulator and a device manager. Before I turned off my computer last night, I was able to edit my code on the desktop, start the program (F5) and the result was synched to the emulator and I could open the program file. This was done without active sync running or a device attached. Somehow I must have installed nsbasic on the emulator but I don't know how it happened. I never did make an active sync connection with the emulator (using dma) but I was going back and forth with the device before I disconnected it. I was surprised that it worked so easily with only the emulator and the desktop in action. Today...zippo, zilch, nyet, squat, nothing. Back to square one. Vista Computer: Downloaded the correct images from the link you sent and installed the emulator. Configured it to use a shared folder. All of the files from the desktop folder show up on the emulator and I can even read my program's manual there. Everything is in the 'storage card' folder. Opened the desktop nsb folder, double clicked the program file (pocketcogo.nsb) and it installed the program on the desktop. This is how I thought it installed nsbasic on the XP emulator yesterday because of the shared folder. The key is getting nsb installed on the emulator. This is where I come up short. Both you and Al have said to do it the same as though I was installing to the device. If I were installing to the device, I would connect it and use active sync but Vista doesn't support Active Sync. Even if I used Windows Mobile Device Center, I would have to connect the device. I guess I expected the 'shared folder' to take care of it. I have read your instructions several times but keep getting stuck on installing nsbasic on the emulator. I did install Total Commander using the cab file I downloaded. It looks like the only way to do it is have a cab file for nsb or be able to use Windows Mobile Center together with the emulator. Sorry to be a PITA.
