Amanda/Sally Thanks for your time tonight, I've put another message out for' Technical Help' (like Sally said), maybe that may help,otherwise I'll have to do some ringing around tomorrow. I'll let you know how I get on, thanks again, Tracy. |

Sorry Tracey, I havent a clue what that means! I think that this is probably one for the techies! As far as I can see, you have done everything correctly. I think you may have to ring the product support line or something. Or you could try putting a 'Technical Help' request on the Guest Board, I have seen some other members on GC doing that. Sorry I cant be of any more use, but it is nothing you have done wrong I think. What do you think Amanda? Sally |

Sally, This is what it says; Component'folio objects.ocx'or one of its dependencies not correctly registered:a file is missing or invalid. Does that mean anything to you? Tracy. |

I've tried them all Amanda, it says file missing or invalid. Sorry to be such a pain, hope I haven't kept you from doing your own searching? Tracy. |

If not, and you only have click here to add a rescource file, then click on that....Do you then get Insert the following CD Disk 1 of the new Resource File? Sally Dont worry - we will sort this out! |

It says click here to add a resource file to this list , I click, then it says insert disc 1, I've tried putting in different discs but it won't let me, just says disc 1. but even though disc 1 loads it's surpose to have births and christenings A on and theres nothing!

Tracey I have just uninstalled my VRI and reinstalled it to try and see what is happening. You have loaded the viewer, and then CD1 and thats all you need to do! You DO NOT need to install anymore. I think that you are maybe trying to install the other CD's too? If that is the case, then you dont need to do that, you just start looking at the CD's you want to search. Am i making sense? Is that the error you are getting? Sally |

you dont actually need to install all of the CD's onto your computer. You just install the viewer, and then put in what ever CD you want to look at. The Shortcut is the icon...have you got that on you Windows main page? Sally |

Tracy | Report | 26 Sep 2003 23:22 |

Amanda, what do you mean by shortcut? Sally, I've put in the resource file viewer and that seems ok, then it says install disc 1 that goes ok, but when I go back on add a resource file it says install disc 1 again. ahhh, it's driving me mad. Tracy. |

Which CD are you putting in the drive? Make sure that you have taken out the Viewer CD and have put one of the data CD's in. We will sort this for you tonight! Sally |

Hi again Sorry to take so long - I was off reading the Guest Book! When you click on the Vital Records Index (Option 2), you will need to have already inserted the disc you want to look at in the drive, otherwise you will get a message like 'Please insert any disc ....' Is that what you are seeing? Try putting in a CD before you click on the second option.... what happens then? Sally |

Hi Sally, yes that's what I get, can you put some light on it? Tracy. |

hi Amanda, yes I have tried that, I don't know what else to try, I think I'm gonna give up for the night. I'm pretty new to all this and thought maybe it was something obvious, I only received them today and was looking forward to spending the night searching, but it's always the way, never mind, thanks anyway, Tracy. |

when you open the viewer, do you get 2 options? 1 says click here to add a resource file and the other says Vital Records Index? Sally |
