1.Download and install the newest version of PicaLoader from http://www.vowsoft.com/download.htm (no need to uninstall the old version before you install the new version).
2.Locate the file
"Hosts" on your computer:
Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
(you may need administrator access for Windows NT/2000/XP)
NOTE: Hosts is the name of the hosts file and not another directory name. It
does not have an extension (extensions are the .exe, .txt, .doc, etc. endings to
filenames) and so appears to be another directory in the example above.
You may have a file called "Hosts.sam". This file is a sample Hosts file (the
.sam stands for sample) and can be used by removing the .sam extension so the
name is just "Hosts".

file with Notepad, add this line to the Hosts file:
66.98.154.18 groups.msn.com
