Hi Donna,

Yes!  Its a Patch file you install that teaches the eMate and Newton of the new years!

You just need to make a backup of everything before, because it resets everything, but you end up with a eMate-2019-and-beyond-friendly computer!

You really need a Backup to do this.

Do you have a backup of all?

Cheers!

Martin
