Have several problems with the Amiga Emulator on a PC running XP.

The Emulator loaded fine; installed ProPage and DPaint IV, and the programs worked fine on startup. One day, booted the PC, opened the Emulator and the following problems appeared, using the Workbench 3.X system setup:

---DF1 through DF3 will not load ADF files, neither do they display an icon
on the desktop.

---When attempting to open DPaint IV, the grey WB screen defaults to black, DP IV will not open, and the mouse pointer is trapped inside the screen window. Only way to free it is to CTL/ALT/DEL.

---Same problem with Personal Paint, even though it is bundled with the Emulation.

Any suggestions anyone?
