Catalina 34 CD

[amazer]

When I try to access the FAQ's I get an error message that says its an illegal operation and my computer shut down. At that point the only thing I can do is restart my computer. Tech Notes opened just fine. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I have the same problem.  What does work is to use Windows Explorer, and access the individual files in that folder. The files are well named, so you should be able to find what you are looking for relatively easily.  I understand that Wemaster and CD author Dave Smith is away for a few days.  I suggest that you send him an email directly, and if he has a better fix, please post the response.  

Best regards,

Also just remembered:  you can use Window's "FIND" to search the CD for text also.  This should be helpful to all those of you who would like a "search engine" similar to the website.  It's there, but not on the disk, just use Windows to do it for you, using the "containing text" box.

This is the first I've heard of a problem in accessing the FAQs.  Try this:

1.  Open your browser.
2.  At the Address line type in
    H:\faq-pages\index.htm
   
substituting the drive letter of your CD drive for "H".

Let me know what happens.  Also, I'd like to know what kind of computer you are using (as much detail as you can give me) and the browser you are using (with version number).

Is anyone else having this problem?

Here's what I get when I do that:  same "illegal"  (how nice of Redmond!) message with the following:

Hope that helps.

That doesn't sound like a problem with the CD.  However, you might try cleaning the CD with a damp lint-free cloth.

You didn't indicate which browser you were using, but from the error message it appears that you are using Microsoft Explorer.  I suggest that you reinstall Explorer.  If you don't have Version 5, you may want to download it and install it in your computer.  This should solve your problem.
