Reader Emulator Help

In preparation for the arrival of my Kindle I have downloaded Mobipocket Creator and am now endeavouring to learn how to use it which seems pretty straight forward.

So I converted a test PDF to HTML then set up a new blank publication which I added the HTML file to. Then hit build which went smoothly and I ended up with a PRC file which I assume is my ebook ready for the Kindle.

Problem was when I got the option to view the file on the Mobipocket Reader Emulator (which I assume displays the ebook as it would appear on the Kindle) nothing happened and I can't find much by way of assistance in the help section.

Do I have to download something else or do something to activate the emulator?

As an aside, I had assumed that the output from Creator would be in .MOBI format instead of .PRC. Does it matter?

Thanks
Kevin
