i downloaded it this morning but was not paying attention and did the offline link. not sure if it needed to be saved in a specific space but i gave it its own folder in the drivers section. unzipped and started the .exe file and completed installation. i was rushed so im not positive everything went as it should. so i might go back and redo. i tried opening mame and did get the command window to open up for considerably longer then before but nothing else happened after it closed back down. thanks blake
