Here is a step by step instruction.

1. Check if your computer has a USB port. If not, you can't use the linker.
2. Double click on the driver file and extract the contents to a folder.
3. Plug-in the cable to the computer. This will show you the "new hardware found". Choose the folder you have extracted the driver and install the driver.
4. Run the flash writer program. At this time you will see another "new hardware found". Follow the same procedure and install the driver again.
5. Put the cartridge in the GBA SP.
6. Connect the other end of cable to the GBA SP.
7. Try writing files (or choose backup saver). It will show you the window "turn on gba and press select + start".
8. Now press start and select button at the same time and turn on GBA SP. You can release those buttons if you hear a melody or the loader screen appears on your GBA SP.
