If it's a QuickTime issue, I may be able to help.

I, too, originally couldn't run the program on XP. I had issues with QuickTime and kept getting "QuickTime Not Installed" messages even after installing QT from the disc.

The Interactive CD uses an older version of QuickTime that clashes with and won't work with the newer versions of QuickTime.

I don't know if that's the problem you're having, but if it is, try downloading the QuickTime 2.1 installer from http://www.epgtech.com/up...nk_up.html. You can run this version of QT and newer versions concurrently without problems. I installed QT from this link and was able to run the Interactive CD without problems.

Hope this helps. And let me know if it addresses your problem.

Click the start button on Windows XP.

Click "Help & Support."

Search for "running Windows 95 programs" or something along that line.

You should get instructions on how to run it properly. . .it will work fine.

Lol, a bit off topic, i bought this cd-rom from a bargain-rack in Holland for 2,95 gulden (1,5 dollar) about 8 years ago.... lol

I think i watched it two or three times, by the way.
