Hi Denise, Just tried my own Sands and realised it doesn't work with Windows XP. Seems it needs Netscape 4.5 but this old version of Netscape looks like it isn't compatible with XP. Has anyone come up with an answer to this one? Or can direct a techno peasant in simple language?

Thanks Jenny, I must admit it's not something I use often and have only discovered 'a problem' in the last while although I've been on XP a long time. I'd be interested in reading how to get around this. regards Denise ----- Original Message ----- From: <jnnyb@aol.com> To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 02, 2006 11:35 AM Subject: Re: [HC] Sands Directory - technical chat > Hi Denise, > > Just tried my own Sands and realised it doesn't work with Windows XP. > Seems it needs Netscape 4.5 but this old version of Netscape looks like it > isn't compatible with XP. > Has anyone come up with an answer to this one?

Hi Kerry and Denise, Firstly I assume you are talking about the Sands & Kenny Directory for 1857 - 1861. If so, try the following:- If the CD is autorunning , browse the contents. Otherwise use Windows Explorer or similar to browse the contents of the CD. Double-click on the HTML folder and then double-click on the file, Index.html. This should start the program for you. If you use the program often, or think you may forget these steps, don't double-click on Index.html. Instead, high-light it and right-click. Select "Send to Desktop - Make Shortcut", then close the open programs. On the desktop, right-click on "Shortcut to Index.html", select "Rename" and overtype "Shortcut to Index.html" with "Sands & Kenny 1857 - 1861". Now any time you want to use the directory, put the CD in the same drive and double-click on this icon.

Thanks Paul! All worked well and it's up and running again. Will try that in future for others that seem to be reluctant to start. best wishes, techno peasant (Jenny) -----Original Message----- From: Paul Woolard <pwoolard@melbpc.org.au> To: AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, 2 Jan 2006 14:07:18 +1100 Subject: Re: [HC] Sands Directory - technical chat Hi Kerry and Denise, Firstly I assume you are talking about the Sands & Kenny Directory for 1857 - 1861.
