Discs may not open due to new developments in the security model of Internet Explorer since the discs were released.   Try changing the following options in Internet Explorer: - Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > under the "Security" section, check "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" and "Allow active content from CDs to run on My Computer". This should allow the package to open.   Also, the search engine uses Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (as opposed to the more modern Sun Virtual Machine). You can download Microsoft Java VM from: http://www.hrionline.ac.uk/hartlib/msjavx86.exe   Once downloaded, close all programs and then double click the file to install. You may need to reboot your computer before Internet Explorer will use the new Virtual Machine.   Finally, it is likely that images may not display because the TIFF plugin installed with the package has failed to properly integrate with Internet Explorer. The viewer is free, and a more modern version can be downloaded and installed from: http://www.alternatiff.com/
