It did show on my computer, but I was not able to open the file at all. Maybe I'll have better luck with a memory stick and just dowloading it straight to that. Will let you know how I get on. Sorry to bombard you with all these questions, but I don't appear to have grasped the intracacies (sp) of modern computing - never mind, as someone, not sure who, said, " we should learn something new everyday".

You can't see the designs on your computer because you don't have the software to open it. Brother has it's software called PEDesign and uses pes format. There is a generic software called Embird that I would highly recommend. You can even get a trial period with it. It allows you to edit designs, adding & taking away portions. It will open up your designs on your computer. You can also use it to transfer designs to your stick, from the computer.
Lots of info to take in.
