I loaded the drivers for Windows Vista.
I plugged in the brain and started the Arduino.exe
I need some help.
I loaded the drivers OK
3. - go to -> File -> Preferences and set the location for yoursketches. Choose the folder that resides above the "ArduCopter-firmware"folder
What does this mean? the folder above the "Arducopter-firmware" folder ?
Here is a copy of what my menu looks like.
Is this asking for the ARDUINO folder?
What are sketches? Where are they?
Thank you.

Yes: you named the main folder "Arduino" (the zip file should create a folder named "ArduCopter - but you can name it at will). Take this one for the path. You'll see "ArduCopter" when you choose files -> sketchbook from the arduino-0018.exe.
The sketches are the files that will be compiled for uploading to the board. You have a folder "Arducopter-firmware" which contains these files (arducopter.pde ...)
Hope to see your ArCo airborne soon! Have a nice weekend.
P.S.: If you get any error messages in the status windows of the arduino, then please post them here. The sketch is pre-configured to use X-mode btw.
