Help me with WIN UAE

I recently downloaded a WIN UAE emulator to try and play all the classic games i used to play on my old Amiga 500. It works ok when i boot it up but i can't get any games to run they say the files are not 'executable'. Could anyone offer any help?!?!

Thanks.

You cannot run ADFs from the Amiga Desktop. ADFs represent Amiga floppy disks. You must insert the virtual floppy into a virutal floppy drive. Press F12, go to the Floppies page and insert your ADF into drive DF0. Then return to the Amiga Desktop. A floppy icon should appear. If it shows as NDOS or does not contain any icons, reset the Amiga (press Ctrl-Win-Win). The Amiga should then boot off the floppy disk and start the game automatically.

Thanks for your help regarding my WINUAE problem. I noticed the quote on your message which is exactly my problem. i get the floppy icon on the desktop which contains different icons. i just can't seem to get it to run. could you offer any help.

Most disk’s are bootable and require you to reboot your amiga. If you booted workbench the pop the adf in and restart amiga. Or don’t boot workbench, insert adf before you start emulation.

p.s. when you say reeboot the amiga by pressing ctrl-win-win, what are the 'win'

The windows keys. (left and right of space bar, keys with flags) Or press F12, go to the misc tab, click reset and click ok
