EQemu issues...stuck at step 3 of "get started process"

[Aanaf]

Hello All, I have two quick issues to discuss that are keeping me from playing P1999 and I am hoping to get some technical help. I finally got a copy of EQ Titanium, I installed it, then made the necessary EQemu account and LS account...I got to step 3 of the process and downloaded the emulator...it opens but here is where I have my problem(s)

1. When it opens up in the current version it cannot find any servers (and it gave me an options screen and I have no clue what to do with that so I just said "save")...is there a step im missing in the actual emu that is not listed after Step 3 in the start up instructions?

2. It gives me the option to upgrade to the new version (first thing when I open the program)....if I click yes it starts then a system error comes up saying I do not have the corrent .NET Framework V4.something something (I can give the specific number if needed). If I click no...I circle around to problem 1....Any thoughts?

I really appreciate the help in advance and I look forward to seeing you all in the game...maybe even today if I can remedy this. thanks!
