    Yes, after getting administrator control from my computer, I was able to change the hosts file. I know that is right. I double clicked on abyssws.exe right from where I saved the download in the c:/abyss web server folder.

    When I did that, abyss ws wouldn't open because a .dll file was missing. It said I should reinstall. So, I put it back where it was before. Abyss appears to open, but  I don't see any actual program, and when I connected my Zune, I still get the same error message. I gave you a helpful vote, Francisco, which you so richly deserve... Right now, it's again time for me to go to sleep. I will look for your response and try again tomorrow. 

    It looks like I got abyss running... Here is the last error I got:

    -- Default host on port 80 has a listening problem (Local URL http://127.0.0.1)

    Console local URL: http://127.0.0.1:9999

    Good night,

    David

    Francisco,  I still can't get mine to work.  Abyss server is halted.  Please see screen capture.  I'm going through thread and marking all your replies helpful.![](http://fud.community.services.support.microsoft.com/Fud/FileDownloadHandler.ashx?fid=3fa20021-44d1-4174-90c8-dd03d0b77bde)
