Well, the solution was downloading an Embird update...I had sent a message and they must have corrected the problem in the new update...this was to XP, 32 bit version...
Try opening a design from Embird instead of clicking on a design. See if that corrects the problem.
I have the same problem! Any solutions?
Manager opens the last drive you used, which may be a USB stick that is no longer attached. Just click on the drive you want to use at the right hand of the screen an inch or so from the top and select the file you want.
This also happened to me a few times after a windows update. I went to the top of embird & chaanged the drive to " c" it was ok the next time I opened it. good luck
