Thank you Sharon & Taco. We have all the answers at our finger tips with this quilting board. I have the model SE-350. I have Windows XP serivce pack 3 running on the pc. I have been told that you can't open .pes files on your pc. The PED Basic box is the converter used to save to the card, then put in the embroidery machine. I have been told by the seller that this will be returnable if it doesn't work. I think I might bite the bullet! Keeping my fingers crossed. I don't know anything about upzipping a file.
