What if the DVD doesn’t work at all in my computer?
This may happen for a number of reasons:
1 Your computer is equipped with a CD but not a DVD reader
2 Your operating system is not Windows 98, 2000 or XP
3 Existing software on your computer prevents loading of the DVD
4 You’re using a works computer and you need administrative rights to run it.
The DVD has a file on it called START.exe. To identify it on your disk, click START, RUN, BROWSE and, using the ‘look in’ drop-down menu at the top of the window, selecting the location of your DVD drive. The file you should open to run the programme is ‘start.exe’ and can be found in the folder named ‘G2R data’ or ‘Shared Data’. If START.exe is on the DVD then the problem lies with your computer set up and is not a DVD fault.
