Hi

I have just found what appears to be the best front end around, however I seem unable to get it to work on my PC running Vista 64. I have looked through the board and can't seem to find the same issue I have.

Here is the log file and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go into the Advanced Configuration or Setup Wizard and set the correct working path for Emulator 2 or disable it.
