159108 2003-07-12 10:58:00 This morning you replied to my post about a CD ROM I am trying to install. The book publisher sent me instructions on how to install it on a XP system. A screenshot of it is here:

Is there anything there that suggests to you that it may be possible to install on my Win ME system?

Thanks

159110 2003-07-12 11:27:00 Those instructions are on how to associate a file type with the program so that it will open correctly. From what I have read of your previous post, you cannot even install it at this stage, let only try to open it - is this still correct? Jen C (20)
159111 2003-07-12 11:42:00 Yes, Jen C, are are right, I can't install it. But it appears to be old software from Win 3.11 days and it really isn't important if I can't get it to work. I just wondered if the experts here might have some easy way to make it work. But thanks, anyway. Andrew B (867)

Try selecting Windows 95 mode.

It might more accurately emulate the environment for an install.
