Listers - the LANARK-D@rootsweb.com list I also subscribe to had a helpful post to insure the successful installation of the new 1881 CD set. I asked Marion Paterson of San Diego, California if I could post her instructions to the ORKNEY list, she agreed. I ask the listers to excuse the digression from our regular topics to 'software installation', however, the 'software' is directly related to the collection of ORKNEY data ! I still await my recently ordered CD set, but it has been available in the local Family History Center of the LDS Church for about a week now, however, it has been improperly installed. Users cannot get into Glasgow, or any of Scotland at all ! It seems this is a common problem, and her instructions are simple to follow. You might check these more closely if you cannot access some of your census CD set. The instructions are evidently not as user-friendly as they could have been. You do not get a manual, it must be downloaded from the net as per instructions. Once this install glitch has been accomplished, the whole world opens up before you ! Instructions follow: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is an 800 number for tech support at LDS and they are very helpful. Call 1-800-346-6044 There was a strange 'quirk' in the install directions. It is obscurely worded. You need to do an install from THREE CDs: 1. Resource File Viewer 2. CD #1 of the National Index 3. CD #1 of any of the British Census - I chose Disc #1, Scotland Region, Highland Counties (it came in the next to last 'flap' of the CD set). There are 4 paragraphs in the installation instructions, starting with #1 - 'Installing the Resource File Viewer'. Look at the third paragraph in the instructions. 'Installing the 1881 British Census and the National Index' at the top right side of the page. 1. Open the Family History Resource File Viewer 2. Select <Click here to add a Resource File to the list> 3. A window will appear telling you to insert your CD. Insert CD #1. 4. Click <OK> 5. Repeat these steps to install the National Index. What they DON'T tell you is that you can find Disc #1 of the National Index in the first flap of CD's. The Disc #1 of the British Census for Scotland Region is found in the NEXT-TO-LAST FLAP. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meg Greenwood - via Marion Paterson
