After the update replace the wp34s.dat file back to it's original directory with the one you put in a safe place, then start the emulator.

Thank you very much, Barry and Marcus. I did it that way and it worked fine.

Now if there was a simple way to save and load .dat files from within the emulator. This could work as a kind of mass storage.
