Unfortunately, many major software companies are having difficulties with Windows Vista compatibility. We have found an installation related problem on Windows Vista when you first put in one of our CD-ROMs, you may see an error such as this:
We have a workaround that should solve the problem.
Put the cd-rom in the drive and you should see the following Autoplay dialog:
Please click on "Open folder to view files" and you will see something like this in your CD-ROM drive:
Please double click on SETUP.EXE and allow the installation to run. After
the installation has completed, it should let you start the program.
Subsequently, when you want to run the program, place the CD-ROM in the drive and you will again see the following AutoPlay dialog:
Please select "Run Setstub.exe". Alternatively, if the disc was already inserted, you can click on Start...Programs...UofA Language Courseware...Critical Languages Series.
We have not had problems with our software on Vista once our software is installed. If this does not solve your problem, please contact me. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working on a permanent solution.
