  5. The application may take some time to load. This is normal.

Opening and Saving Files

The SPSS virtual desktop application can access any Shared or Home folder on the OHIO network that you normally would have access to, plus the local hard drive on the computer you are using to connect to the virtual desktop. Your local hard drive will appear as the Z: Drive if sharing is turned on. If you need help configuring the sharing settings, please visit Getting started with VMware Horizon (VDI) for information on how to save and access files on your local machine.
