Hello Yorkins I have Windows 7 installed on my computer but I can no longer read the CDs put out by the LDS church eg the Australian Vital Records Index 1788-1905. The packet says it can be read by Windows 3.1 or better but obviously version 7 is too much better Does anyone know of a program I may be able to download (and where can I download it from) which will allow me to read these files again Many thanks Caroline

Caroline I haven't used this for years. it must be over 10 years since I did. Any way I got my CD's out and installed the resource file viewer 4.0 That was installed with no problems but on opening it a message appeared saying it is downloading a patch from MS. This was downloaded. On inserting another CD I get messages about a run time error. Looks as if mine does not work on Windows 7 The instructions give an email address for help which is help@productssupport.familysearch.org That said, if I recall correctly, these CD's are no longer available as all the details are now on the LDS web site which is more up to date.
