Known Issues
- Some users running Windows 7 64 bit have reported that the browser doesn't open automatically after the splash screen finishes loading. If this happens to you, open your Web browser to the following address when the splash screen disappears:
- We've received some reports that users when loading the DVD-ROM for the first time get an error message such as:
Error=>Table 'cdrom_rrdb.country_list' doesn't exist
or
Error=>Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061)
If you receive this error message, check and try the following:
- Make sure you aren't running any security software that might block the application from copying files to your computer.
- Be patient when loading the DVD-ROM for the first time. It takes about 1 minute (longer on some machines) for the DVD-ROM to copy files to your hard drive. If you interrupt this process you may experience the above message and have to clean up your temp files.
- Clean out your TEMP files, reboot, and try to load the DVD-ROM again. To clear out temp files, open My Computer and Right-Click on your C Drive and choose properties. Then click the “Disk Cleanup” button. Check the box “Temporary Files” and then choose OK. Make sure you check “Temporary Files” and not “Temporary Internet Files” - then click OK to run the disk cleanup. Then reboot. and go ahead and try to rerun the DVD-ROM.
Tips and Tricks
Running the DVD-ROM from the hard drive
- If you want to run the DVD-ROM locally on your machine without having to insert the disc each time you need to access the content, simply copy the entire DVD-ROM contents to a folder on your hard drive and execute the "RunCD.exe" file in the folder.
