Our apologies if you're having problems with the CD. Every effort was made to test it on various machines before it went into production. Yet, there are reports that it still has a few flaws. Here are some workarounds that may help.
Note: The autorun feature of this CD only works on a Windows maching (Windows XP/Vista). If you run it on a Macintosh computer, it will allow you to access the contents of the CD directly - in which case you can copy the contents onto your hard disk into a new folder.

To exit, make sure you click the red "X" in the upper right corner of the window (1). Click the first button (2) to open the Book Contents Menu. Click the second button (3) to open the Extras Menu.

Click any other button (3) to open a chapter in the book. These are Adobe "pdf" files. It presumes you have a "pdf" reader program installed on your computer.
Note: If you're having trouble opening these, for whatever reason then copy the contents of the Documents folder from the CD onto your hard disk into a new folder. You should then be able to open any file directly using your Adobe pdf reader. If you don't have Adobe Reader installed on your computer, you can do so by clicking here.
